Hide Takahashi Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Bird Portraits I had another chance to shoot Kestrel portraits and this time I got a better light. While I was talking with the director at WildBird Center,this Kestrel landed on a tree right in front of me. That's the reason why I couldn't frame its whole tail in #2. I tried my best to control exposure on the Egret but the lighting was very bright. I'm in the midst of selecting my hummer images to submit to art exhibition conducted by one of our local cities. If you're selected then you'll get 3 months of exhibition for either a solo or a combined with other artist(s). I reworked on this hummer image and this will be one of my hummer selections. Today;s weather is mostly clody and 50% chance of rain. Tomorrow looks to be a good day for birding. Hide #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 Feb 09, 2010 at 06:52 PM

Tim Kuhn Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · Bird Portraits cloudy and 50% chance of rain. To me that is an optimistic forecast for this time of year I would drive an hour plus to shoot falcons in the dim light Sorry to go off track Hide This is another lovely set. I like the first Kestrel, love the detail. My favorite of the set is the hummer, the back ground adds so much to the image and the birds fine detail is well captured. Those are my picks out of this wonderful set Tim Feb 09, 2010 at 07:10 PM

All the birds around the bird center know that they get free meals and expecially when the director of the bird center comes outside,they know they'll get some free foods. But I just didn't expect this kestrel would land on a tree so close to me. Hide Tim Kuhn wrote: cloudy and 50% chance of rain.

The hummer I'm sure will be a hit! Thank you for your encouragement,Conrad. I actually don't have any idea about what other artists do or submit, but mine is a niche subject so I may have a shot at it.

Sirfishalot Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #13 · Bird Portraits Gorgeous series Hide! The Kestrals are just superb and your choice on the Hummer is right on the money. Beautiful detail and colors in that one. You might consider including a little more of that killer BG if this was a crop. Very nice work. JayT Feb 10, 2010 at 07:31 AM

The hummer is a crop and I actually wanted to include the BG a little more like you suggested but there were some unwanted trees on the left. But thanks for your suggestion.
