Birds

Some bird shots from today, taken with my 70-300 ED.

Nearly got this one, but not quite

This group is the better group out of the three you've just posted (the others being urban decay & flowers). I particularly like the 4th bird shot with the tack sharp focus on the bird and the OOF sky. I wish I had such steady hands

As an aside - it really bugs me that your thumbnails are so tiny since you can't tell much of the image from the thumbnail. Can you get an in between size or does you gallery software give you little choice.

Thanks for the comments Peter. I agree that these are the better shots of the lot, but didn't want to just tack the others on in this thread as it would be a bit overloaded.

I'll see if I can configure my gallery software to about double the thumbnail size.

EDIT: Is that better Peter?
It took reuploading photos, so I won't be doing it for all my old albums I don't think.

No 7 is beautifully balanced and works for me. Reminds me of someone asking a famous photographer, "How do you place your visual elements"?...to which he replied, "I put 'em where they do the most good"! That about sums up composition.

Excellent - that's a much more serviceable thumbnail size.
