Post your best bird shots!

Nate,


It is a beauty considering you took it handheld. You really have some stable hands there. Very nice colors, catchlight in the eye, deatils of the feathers. It looks like it is posing for a closeup facial portrait


Your pics are a visual pleasure.


Cheers!!

Very nice Cardinal jjknights. Do you own the 400 2.8 or did you rent it?

I actually used my uncle's lens. I gotta work a little while longer before I can afford something like that. Nice hand held shot by the way. I also have the 7d.

Very nice shot. Did you sharpen it? It looks kinda soft.


John.

Thanks John. Don't worry, it's plenty sharp, I just don't sharpen after resizing and for some reason all of my shots are about 1/10 as sharp after posting [8o|]
