Post your best bird shots!

[Joel Eade]

The first one is a Dark Eyed Junco. The next is a female Northern Cardinal and the last is a male Northern Cardinal. Here's another male Cardinal I took in my backyard setup last winter.[img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.32.28/23_5F00_IMG_5F00_7649.jpg[/img]

Joel, very nice image, I like the the pose, the perch and the crop, very nice details too. I would like to see a little brighter though.

Wow, Joel, that's just beautiful. It may be too early to tell, but it seems like Nate finally has some competition in the bird photography area [:O]

Thanks Nate and Brendan,


I agree it looks a little dark on the web, it must have happened when I converted the original tiff and resized/sharpened it for web viewing.

Joel,


Your photos are absolutely beautiful especially the female cardinal in your last post!! I wish the females were as colorful in my area!

Thanks for sharing!

Here's two of mine from today, I only have a quantaray 70-300mm with horrible clarity but I got two cool ones.


I really like this one because of the bits of snow the bird is kicking up.
