Shel,

He's taken bird photography to the next level as I mentioned in a previous

I wasn't going to comment on your comment, but after thinking about it a

though most bird pics are rehashes, the basic birdshot remains quite
difficult. correct pose and lighting are oh-so difficult and require a lot
of patience... I would rate it much more difficult than photographing
children.

It looks like a very awkward position for the bird - it's hard to
be sure what it's doing. I find the sharp head, but narrow depth
of field, makes it look almost as if the bird has stuck it's head
through a piece of tissue paper, and is struggling to get away.
I also think it needs a little more

Hello Shel,
Interesting first attempt. Quite a mix of sharpness and motion blur.
Certainly not a cliche shot, but not particularly appealing. Kind of
like, viewing it once is interesting, but not something I would view
over and over. I applaud your desire to do something beyond the
usual.

for the first one, this is very good!

I have a feeling you will be taking many more bird pics.

Hi, David,
neither am I, but I'm in an urban environment, and didn't have the time or
the gear to head out into the park* and do anything more serious. Anyway,
y'gotta start somewhere, and these birds can still have interesting antics
and poses, and are fun to watch. It's a good place to practi

It's an alright picture. The mix of blur & sharpness is interesting.
But I'm not a big fan of bird pictures taken at feeders, and IMHO this
is just one step up from that.
