Im suffering from lack of summer...


I feel your pain.

These are really special images! They do take me back to summer but they each convey a distinct and beautiful moment and setting.

Very nicely done. Thanks for posting.

wow.. these are awesome. Please share what type of lens and settings, if you can, for the birds in flight?
THanks for sharing!

Exceptional images Chris....4,5 are my favorites because the mood is as special as the quality of the photos.

Ohhhh geeeeez it's you again
Howdy Chris, you were sitting on some gems here buddy..................

1 love the light and the somewhat comical character of this shot, one legged wonder just adds charm to the darling little beauties
2 very unique and very delightful, simply gorgeous BG colors to go with this one
3 what a difference in the comp a dried weed can make, the warmth in color with the blues of the bird are dynamic
4 moody glow to the light, nice work on working the exposure and details on the 'shadow' side of this one
5 sheeesh that is purely wonderful, sweet!

6 kerplunk with wonderful colors
7 simple and effective and the tease of the comp is great in going against the normal rules
8 got the golden hour at its magical moment, this is one I could also like in a narrow pano without the reflection
9 thank goodness for the unpredictable poses, good catch
10 Yes! this is magnificent!

You have some amazing vantage points as well as immaculate BG's that make these real standouts Chris. What ever your magic is in approaching wildlife is quite special, if you become a guide please drop me an invite

Thanks, this was most refreshing!

Beautiful shots, every one of them is special. Dare I ask - did you treat the backgrounds?



Hi Archibald

I do not do anything with the backgrounds its just that the background is far enough away that it just becomes a blur :-)
I really try to avoid a busy background (personal taste).

Thanks for the comment

Chris

#1 for me. No wait, #2. On second thought, #3. No, #4. No, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. They're all amazing. If I HAD to pick? It would come down to 1, 4, or 5, and 4 would probably win. Would love to see gear and exif info on these.


HI Dennis

Just added the exif :-)

Over the top imagery each and every one.
Forced to pick a fav it would be the Cormorant for the unique posture.
