beautiful attention to detail - especially like the 1st
what's the eyes reflecting in #2 ? interesting speckle pattern I haven't noticed before
thought on a day like today you may have headed to the beach for a bit of bird watching

Deb the eye is like that, I giess with the extra resolution and being so close it just shows up better. If I took the 400 to the beach they would try and lock me up

Make a triptych out of these! Great shots indeed.
The first could improve a little if the eye had a little more light on it.

You could get away with it if you took a
model to bondi beach with a 400. Perhaps if you had a few assistants?

I Love number 4- it's got real character and is a somewhat unsettling portrait. Beautiful focus. You said it was a 400 but what's the glass?

did you offer them some water?
they look alittle thirsty
Also, check out the eyebrows in #2, now thats what I call functional!
I like the final image the most, there are no harsh shadows and the posture really conveys the thread title! Nice ones!

An amazing series there Big V. I really like reading everyone elses comments, means I can go back and notice what they have noticed before me.
Great shots with great sharpness and detail. Very interesting notes on the eyes (Deb) and eyebrows (Gerry). I will have to agree with the last being my favourite.

Smashing shots. I like them all, but wish there was a little more detail in the shadows of the second and third. The first and the last have great lighting.

The 400 refers to the 400mm F2.8 lens that I use.The camera body is a Canon 1DMK111. Take the point about the shadows- my fault for being lazy and not carrying a flash for a little bit of fill.

Fantastic behavioural shots BigV !!! Maybe it was good that you didn't have flash, as that may have caused the birds to snap their mouths shut, not given you these fabulous shots
. I'd be happy with them as are
