Thanks Bill,

I thought is was a pigeon at first because I had seen one on a similar signpost the week before and they're about the same size.

I had the best part of 5 minutes between first shot and last, there are quite a few others, but I was, for a 300mm lens, still a bit far away; none are really sharp at 100%, not helped by it being a very windy day, so the plumage was blowiing all over the place :(

Cheers,

Here's a prairie dog -- not in the wild, though, at a desert museum:

Taken a couple of years ago, w/my point-and-shoot, by the way.

A couple of mallards from the other day...............................

Cute shot suzanne.

Getting down to their level will usually give a better perspective.

I actually took this through a window looking down to the feeders outside. Hense all the noise and slight distortion in the shot. Hmmm, I wonder if they'd let me get close enough outside? Guess I won't know until next spring. :rolleyes:

Not that bad stardust. How did you edit it? The colors don't look right, and a touch overexposed.

The figure skater...............................Heavy crop, but i like the content.

Sahil

Framing/composition - excellent. Exposure - perfect. Subject matter - enchanting.

Well done. One of your very best.

How strange! lol Maybe its feet were cold? Ducks aren't known as the brightest bunch in the flock.;)
