Some birdies from Mr. Zoundz...

Mr Zoundz (Karl ) was understandably very pleased with these photos, they're the best he's taken to date, and the nicest rock pipit one in particular he was happy with. I thought they were smashing, and said I'd put them up on here for critique, so he can see where he needs to improve

Hooded Crow:


Pied Wagtail:


Rock Pipit:


and his favourite:

Re: Some birdies from Mr. Zoundz...

yep agree nice photos, May I suggest cropping out some of the sky on the right and top in the last photo, it tends to overpower the rest of the excellent picture. I have tried it and I think it is better. I cropped halfway between the bottom of the rock and the right hand side, also halfway between the birds head and the top of the picture. Now deleted it from my computer.

Re: Some birdies from Mr. Zoundz...

Thanks all! And thanks for the advice Bazza - we really weren't sure how to crop this for maximum effect - so will try what you advised!

Re: Some birdies from Mr. Zoundz...

Zounds don't forget to do it on a copy of the original. Doing that crop still leaves the picture square if done right and creates the attention more on the bird.
