Post your best bird shots!

Today was small bird day....

Joel,


I like your samll birds. They may not be the sharpest you have shot, but there is good action... kind of shows a little about the birds interaction and life (sometimes life is not so easy for them).

Whoa, Joel, You have out done yourself with this shot. Your shots are always great, but this one really tells a story: Bad Breath, Momma is mad, go away, you name it---this shot is great. three thumbs up and a toast for this one. [Y][Y][Y][B]

Great shots, Joel!, the third one is really a killer. love that action of those two little birds and the lighting looks very natural.

Thanks everyone for the kind words ... I had about 20 Goldfinches feeding at the same time so there were a few squabbles and I happened to catch one of them


They say timing is everything!


A little luck always helps too!

JJ & Joel - Your photos are always an extreme pleasure to view & the latest ones are keeping with that magical trend! Lighting, contrast, composition, sharpness ...always superb! Nothing is ever applied too much or too little with your photos.


Joel - I can't help but find that last one of yours pretty comical! Reminds me of a cartoon with the bird on the right saying in a human voice, "You spent HOW MUCH on another lens"! And the bird on theleft looking for an escape to save his life![:P]

Lol, that's so funny Denise but I thought the bird was saying "I'll kick you out if you buy one more damn lens!!!"[]

Maybe I should add a conversation bubble and those quotes ... Canon wouldn
