While I was home today, I noticed a lot of birds landing on the tree beyond by condo balcony. This is an area of photography I really have not
tried, so…. I set my tripod up… and learned just how difficult capturing a bird is!!! My admiration for those of you who capture the most
incredible bird shots – birds with seeds in their mouths, the perfectly posed bird, etc. – has just increased 10-fold!!!

Here is my bird, ignoring me!! ;-)

Another attempt:



other sizes: small medium original auto

You have a keen eye for a good picture, all is well placed and in perfect dof ..

Keep up the practice and your bird images will be wall hangers...

The dof worked beautifully to lose the setting. Love the snow and red berries to make a classic winter scene.

With your talent it won't be long before you'll have all of us bird photographers running for the hills :-)

Wonderful clarity! I like the ripple of feathers on the back!

This is a splendid shot. The details in both images are perfect, and the background in the first is outstanding. You'll make a fine bird photographer. Vote

very nice indeed, Mindy
I had a flock of robins at our house last week too
unusual for January
Maybe we will have a early spring
