A couple of Birds

FInally got close enough to some birds to take a few shots

1]
[ Did`nt crop this one too much as I quite like how the size of the leaves and fence show how tiny the bird is ? ]


2]


3]


4]


5]


6] My favourite on the technical side simply because for once I did`nt feel it needed any PP other than a slight crop to my preferred dimensions


Definitely hankering for a longer lens now in order to get much closer shots, hopefully the lighting on these looks ok to you guys, they look ok on my lappy but its not calibrated so if they look too bright or dark to you just tilt your lappy lids as needed, the right level is there somewhere

Comments/tips for improvement welcomed as always

Those are nicely exposed sharp shots, Patch. Not to keen on the wire in the first 3 images, but I really like the Robin shots

Re: A couple of Birds

Thanks guys, so happy he Robin pics came out so well, I`d been trying to get him in the frame for a few weeks and finally got him Its a shame that the little Sparrow only wanted to perch where the fence is, I will put out some strategically placed bird feed and have another go
