Thank you for your comments!

Thank you for your time

thank you!

Comments welcome.

Another Russian swan captured in Japan. I really like this shot. I like the lighting (early

morning), head angle, eye contact and wing position. It was a lucky shot coz this guy

just came flying over my head. Taken with a 300 mm lens.

All comments and critiques are welcome. Thanks!

This is a Russian swan during its winter stay in the N. of Japan. Taken with a 300 mm

lens + a TC1.7x. Caught while taking off before clearing the trees on the back which

helped me to keep the whites well exposed.

I like the wing position but I'm not so sure if the background is distracting.

Thank you for your comments!

Here is another shot using the same zoom lens 17-55.

I really love its pose. I pushed the H/L as far as could. i am not sure if I overdid it.

Please feel free to comment. thank you!

I have a few swan shots that i have been meaning to get your inputs about.

Here is the first one. It was taken in the UK in my friend's lake.

I used a short zoom, 17-55.

All comments welcome! Thanks!

Monte.... BIG MISTAKE! I don't know what I was thinking! Thank you for letting me know!

 

And thanks to everybody else for your nice comments! Cheers!

I guess this would be his morning exercises!

Comments welcome! Thank you!

I like his pose, he was curious about me or maybe he just like my camera! :)

Comments welcome! Thank you!

This guys lives in this bark. He was annoyed by my presence and kept making so

much noise protecting his territory. Thank you for your time and comments!

I like these little guys. My sample seems to be an older guy. It took me so long to be

able to find one resting on a rock. Some how they love wires and concrete.

Thank you for your comments!

Another lovely shot! This was a difficult shot but you got it well. I am sorry but the only thing wrong I can find is again the cropping! Too tight on the top, give the little fellow space to flight into! Well done! Rene'

Job well done Carolina! I love the pose and the leaves look really nice! BG and composition are very nice too! Rene'

This is a really nice capture. The BG goes great with the bird. A minor critique would be that the crop is a bit too tight by the tail! Other than that is a 7/7

Since you said you are new to birds photography I will give you some advice. I am not a pro and I am just starting to learn. When you shoot birds you will find out that no matter what lens you have, it is not long enough.

This shot looks very good to me BUT you have to crop otherwise your bird is lost in the picture. 99% of my bird shots are cropped. No shame on that.

Here I would recommend a big crop leaving space on the left and make it tight on the right.

You have to shoot wide open to isolate the subject and then sharp the image. Specially the best is to blur the BG very smoothly.

Last but least, look and study other members work and learn from that! Good luck! Rene'

Thank you for your time and comments!
