Hi Dec,

You produce some lovely bird photographs and these are also very good.
I’m no expert on this type of photography and hopefully wiser heads will also comment.

#1 is really nice with the tilt of the head adding an extra dimension.
The tip of the beak looks a little soft to me and it caught my eye but not sure.

#2 is a lovely study.
Not sure if the background was like this or edited out but either way I think it looks really good.

#3 is another lovely image.
Nice light.
Good composition with the bird and branch placed nicely in the frame.

A lovely set.

Cheers,

John.

Hi John,

Thanks very much for taking the time. I see what you mean about #1 alright. . Probably a bit of movement in the beak #2the bird was eating a berry. .Poor light and not raising my ISO high enough only gave a shutter of 1/125 sec.

#2 was taken over at Ferrybank on another dreary day. . The bird was on the edge of the breakwater with the water behind.

Thanks a mill John,

Dec
