Post your best bird shots!

Great shot, Nate, and I am so envious that you have the opportunity geographically to be around so many special species.


As far as using the 400, remember, quality over quantity! This is a great composition, in my opinion, and part of what makes the shot look so good is the resolved detail, which you may have lost a little with having to crop to this size from a 400 image. You may have more throwaways, but the keepers are KEEPERS!

Here is one of mine:

It was not taken in the wild, the Saw-Whet had been injured & rehabilitated, but I'm pleased with the shot nevertheless. Best part for me is that the lens here was nothing especially fancy: a Sigma 70-300mm, handheld, no IS or anything. :-)


I have other shots, if anyone is interested.


cheers,

Wow really nice picture! The bird on the background is really adding something to your photo [Y]





@Wickerprints


Man those pictures are sharp!!! I still can't believe you took em with only "100mm" You should have been very close?

thanks Sheiky, your comment is a encouragement for a new birder like me.

Well to be honest, I'm not a birder whatsoever, that's why I'm not getting real excited of a photo of just a bird in a tree. Unless there is something special. And your photo is special! It's different and I really liked that. If it would be only one bird it would be a lot less exciting for me. Now your composition is really cool. I like that it is different! Better...I love that it is different!
