Thanks tips on how to be better welcome
Dessie, these do not look to be as sharp as they should be given your setup. Have you done any PP on these??……/Mikka
Hi Dessie. I agree with Mikka, they don’t appear to be very sharp, but they are nice shots. Did you shoot f/2.8?
I’d agree with Mikka about the robin not being as sharp as it could be (based on your other bird posting). The blackbird however, looks bang on to me. The vast contrast maybe hides this a little. I think the blackbird image could have the exposure increased slightly, looks like you’ve some room to maneuvre there before the white snow starts blowing out and it would bring out a touch more feather detail.
Compositionally I’d prefer both images to be a little different, I prefer if the feeder/food is not in shot if possible – but that’s just me, my preferences. Maybe a small attractive branch in front of the feeder that the bird could rest on before going to the feeder.

Thanks for the tips all i did to these was crop them i know the robin looks a little soft this is the first time i ever shot in raw mode so ill try and lighten the blackbird no to good with the photoshop.
RAW is definitly the way to go, lots more detail retrievable. Google “exposing to the right” and read a few articles on this, then check your histogram on the LCD after the shot.
