I like the lighting.. but am not sure if the angle of capture is the best. I would have liked the camera a bit higher and to the right. Is there something specific you were trying to portray?

nice concept

Amazing composition. Congrats.

Tiny feet of my 8 week old.. tell me how you like this. Comments and

ratings welcome. Thanks.

I have been trying for the nice "angelic" portrait of my 8 week old son.

How do you think this looks. Taken with a Nikkor 50mm 1.8 prime - a

great lens for protraits on a D90. Comments and rating welcome.

Thanks.

what do you think...? comments and ratings welcome - thanks.

I liked the odd man out here - I am not sure if this is it is very common

to find a ripe coffee fruit amongst a cluster of young ones. How do you

like the composition? Comments and ratings welcome. Thanks.

Comments and ratings welcome. This little guy was in a shouting duel

with another sparrow sitting nearby (out of this frame). How do you like

this? THanks.

After an hour of trying, I got this very nice shot, with the correct posture,

background and lighting. I think this is one of my best bird photos - the

sparrows were indeed very cooperative during the whole hour. Taken on

an overcast day with handheld 70-300 Sigma. Let me know what you

think - comments and ratings welcome. Thanks.

Am new to bird photography. Loved the take off style of this bird as it

gathered speed and flew away. How do you like this? Comments and

ratings welcome. THanks.

 

Lovely !!!

Comments and ratings welcome.... Thanks.

How do you like this? This uses the macro mode in my Sigma 70-300

DG Macro lens. Comments and ratings welcome. Thanks.

I am not sure I know the name of this bird - found it in a swamp in

Chennai (city in India). Bright colors and nicer looking than I thought at

first. Thought the posture was nice - can you detect a hint of pride in

that step :).. comments and ratings welcome. Thanks.

thoughts? taken way past sunset, handheld with Nikkor VR lens.

Comments and ratings welcome. thanks

THanks for your comment - I realise the slightly out of focus tip of nose, but is that due to lack of IS or very shallow DOF? Also, wouldn't ISO 1600 introduce significant grain? I'll try it out though - in daylight, grain might not be that big an issue. Thanks for your suggestions anyway.

 

This guy was perched on a neighbourhood wall - I noticed while driving,

stopped and pulled out my camera with a newly acquired telephoto. Taken

from the driver's seat. How do you like it? This is one of my first in "wild" life

capture with the new telephoto. Comments, Ratings and any tips welcome.

Thanks.

One of the better shots that I got of these flying beauties from my 7th

floor balcony !! Used my recently acquired Sigma 70-300 DG. Not bad?

what do you guys think? Comments and ratings welcome.

Clouds and skies are favorite objects of photography. I found the cloud

formation in this one particularly interesting. Comments and ratings

welcome. Thanks.

Thanks

After a few trials and errors - I got this photo that I wanted for a long

time. From my apt balcony. comments and ratings welcome. Thanks in

advance.

Jerry - first of all thanks for taking time out for your comment. It's an honor to hear from a person of your expertise and experience. Regarding this photo - I got the idea from certain other photos I took with the subject in sharp focus and a blurred (using DOF) background. I liked the "painting like" feel  of the background - which is what I wanted to recreate here in the whole photo. The idea is to focus the eye on the color and forms, rather than the accurate details of the object. I am not sure I can convey my thoughts accurately - but have tried to put it in words. I plan to experiment with out of focus a bit more to see if I can convey my thoughts better.

Thanks

Thanks. Country was India.

Tried experimenting with out of focus images. A couple of girls were

sitting at this breakfast cafe - the light and colors outside created a nice

background. What do you think? Comments and ratings welcome.

Thanks.
