Conversation with Bird...for C&C

[IzzieK]

1. Tell Me About Your Day Today...



2. Come on...I am all ears...huh??? What did you say again???



3. That is a lie !!!



4. Did they really say I look like a funk?



5. Wait till I catch them gossiping about me!!!I'm going to funk them too!!!



Reality...the bird was feeding and watching me if I will move from my perch hence the blurriness of some head and beaks...and since I was pressing my shutter speed quickly I got these poses...Hope you enjoy these one...

What a cute series & commentary Izzie!
A fun series, but also a very successful one, as I think the colour tones of the OOF foliage in the background coupled with the 2 colours in the feeder dish, work really, really well.

Nice set and commentary, Izzie. I like the 4th shot. I like the way the red and green of the feeder are repeated in the background and the bird's colours.

So you've taken to talking to birds now Izzie, well at least they don't answer back with smart alec remarks

Nice series with a clever commentary. Pity about the blurring in the first couple of shots, maybe a faster shutter speed would have helped.

What a beautiful collection; you are very lucky that your charming model visits you everyday

[Barbara Ponder]

I love it Izzie! My favorites are #4 and 5 sharp and beautiful detail! Keep them coming! I am looking forward to the next batch!

[deetheturk]

You really have lost the plot Izzie don't you know never to talk when their eating

#4 and #5 are great pal, well done

[Rebel]

I agree with David, #4 and #5 are the best. Alot sharper than the others.

This series were also shot on the same day as the other thread and I am still editing that batch. I had since changed my feeder to a proper one but I like this feeder best ... the birds really enjoy this one.

Thank you for your very kind comment. 'Appreciate it very much.

Thanks Greg...welcome back to CiC. you seem to be bobbing in and out here and there, eh? Photography still on the low side of life at the moment?

Thank you for viewing and commenting...'appreciate it.

And I was thinking of exactly that Dave, last night as I was doing my pp -- maybe a faster shutter speed. I will do that today if I can still stand up after doing all those gardening yesterday. It's that time of the year here...wonder what tomorrow will bring photographically...or not.

'Appreciate your comments, mate.

Yes they do...all denizens around here loves me because I am their source pan (food source)...from two legged birds to four legged poochies and two men lingering, sniffing and smelling around my kitchen like as if these dingoes hasn't been fed just a short time ago...

[IzzieK]

When I still have the energy, Barbara...I take a shot each day of different things but by the time it is editing time, it is time for bed again...Once a week submission maybe enough. I had not garden since last year and I've missed the beauty of my surrounds now that the doggies are getting the idea that they are not allow near my plants...

Thanks David and Matt for commenting. I do appreciate it heaps and heaps.

David... I will get back to insects and bugs when I see them around. It is too windy yesterday afternoon when I was looking. I haven't stopped looking though and still waiting for those bees too. If I didn't anything interesting at daylight I will start to do something about it, like baiting them with sweetish water or something..

[Cananeer]

Nicely done Izzie - interesting conversation

[JohnRostron]

Nice series Izzie. The poses are well-chosen and comments are all apposite. What was the bird? Is it some sort of Cardinal? I'm not familiar with American tweety-birds.

[Shadowman]

Nice series, some really good captures. Have you considered shooting video and doing a screen capture?

[TheBigE]

Izzie - Great series and commentary. Of them all I like #5 the best, great sharpness and composition. Maybe a touch tighter on the crop...

[eepee]

Lovely pictures. Prefer #4 and #5 which are sharper than the others.

[Brownbear]

Hi Izzie,

#4 and #5, exceptionally well done! Beautiful detail, gorgeous colour, good light, lovely clear backgrounds and sharp focus and beautiful clarity on the birds eye. #4 is my favourite slightly edging out #5 for the softer bokeh...
