Really like 1a, 3 and the pose on 5 is cool. Would like to see these NOT cropped so tightly. The birds are great but would like to see more BG.

Good point Arbitrage, but your monitor must see the dress as White and Gold. Your pic has more Mag in it than the original.

Okay here goes my comments and critique:
#!: Love snowy backgrounds, nothing better than that. Because of lower, flatter light, micro contrast is lower on this one compared to say the downy in #2. Still nice and sharp, good head angle. I would maybe add some room in front of him (left side) as he feels a bit centred (not helped by having that tail stick out right).

#2: Love everything, green background is so smooth and vibrant. Details and micro contrast pop on this one. Head angle is good, eye is engaging.

#3: Another super sharp, good contrast, nice background. I would

So glad you liked my photos!
Have a great day and a big thank you!

Springtime woodpecker is my favorite. It's sharp, stands out from the green background, and it has very nice overall composition.

Good looking set BB. The woodie is my fave. Looks like the one colour issue I saw was pointed out by Geoff already.



Good morning Ken,
Thank you for your very kind reply and your pick.

Hi BB,

The first has less feather detail than most of your work. Is the white balance correct for the 4th? The others are beauties.

Morris


Hi Morris,
The cardinal in the snow has big snowflakes coming down in front of my lens
The titmouse is redone!
Thanks for your kind reply!

What Morris said!

A charming set, BeeBalm. Also, what Geoff said. (And did).

And, I'm guilty of this myself, but I think more room around all these little guys would increase the aesthetic (whatever that is) appeal.

Greg



That's so sweet of you to say Greg about my set of photos!
I was just having "fun" them being tight here since I am not printing nor blowing them up

So the cropping doesn't mean anything
Have a great evening!

I love the Cardinal in the snow .... I love everything in the snow now, it just makes all shots seem so clean and bright

I also really like the Chickadee too (it would be called a tit over here, or in the UK, but I think you call them Chickadees right ?) seems like a fledgling still begging from it's parents.

They're all excellent, but I have to pick 5 for the cute factor. I also think 5 would be the best candidate for a story, because the bird seems to be trying, or planning to try, something unfamiliar.

Thanks a million Nancy for your sweet reply!
I enjoyed reading it.
