Bill Hollinger Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · Birds on ice I love the look of Cardinals in the snow, but yesterday we were visited by ice instead of the pretty white stuff. Feb 14, 2008 at 01:14 PM

jhg photo Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #2 · Birds on ice Beautiful birds on very interesting ice crusts around the twigs. So it was worth you went out in this bad weather. Very good execution of the shots. Feb 14, 2008 at 01:25 PM

spyders03 Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #3 · Birds on ice Excellent shots, #1 and #2 would have to be my favorites, but #1 seems to have a little more DOF than is should. Just my opinion, and great job. Feb 14, 2008 at 01:47 PM

Karl Witt Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #4 · Birds on ice N-ice and pretty these are. Really seems to set off the colors of the birds well. I really like #2 but #3 is best for me. Worth braving the elements, these have great character. Karl Feb 14, 2008 at 04:12 PM

Tim Kuhn Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #5 · Birds on ice I really like the female, 2. Nice composure, the lines of the bird accented by the lines of the branch. Everything but the bird framed in ice. Very nice indeed. Tim Feb 14, 2008 at 04:50 PM

AJ Montgomery Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #6 · Birds on ice Great series. The third is my preferred image as it is sharp and well composed. Feb 14, 2008 at 04:54 PM

Lil Judd Online Image Upload: Off p.1 #7 · Birds on ice The ice covered branches give an extra feeling to these shots. Don't think I have a favorite - - all nice shots. Lil Feb 14, 2008 at 05:04 PM

Cricket Elliot Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #8 · Birds on ice These are exquiste photos!! Nicely done....and so much color!!! Feb 14, 2008 at 08:24 PM

Allen Hirsch Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #9 · Birds on ice Nice series - unusual to see that much ice-encrusted vegetation and colorful birds. #3 gets the nod for me, just slightly. Feb 14, 2008 at 08:55 PM

Bill Hollinger Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #11 · Birds on ice Thanks everyone. I don’t take bird photos often because I am using a 300 f2.8 with a 1.4x, and it is not easy to get close enough. I would buy a 500 f4.0, but I just bought a D3 (for af tracking) and don’t know whether to get the long lens for the Nikon or for the Canon. I am going to try the 200-400, and while I have it, I’ll use a 1.4x and try to get some bird photos and compare them to what I get from the 1Ds2 and 300 + 1.4x. Any thoughts or suggestions are certainly welcome.... Bill Feb 14, 2008 at 11:25 PM

suemcc Offline Buy and Sell: On p.1 #12 · Birds on ice Really wonderful opportunities on this set - nice shots! Susan Feb 16, 2008 at 02:35 AM

kkennardis Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #13 · Birds on ice Wow, Nice shots. I would love to get an oppourtunity to shoot cardinals let alone get them with frozen Branches. Super Job in taking advantage of the situation. I like #2 the best because of the cardinal is in the 1/3 corner and the rest of the branches create a nice balanace. Ken Feb 16, 2008 at 02:49 AM

JJBub Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #14 · Birds on ice Hi Bill, I enjoyed all of these. No. 3 is my favorite - nice composition and very sharp. Feb 16, 2008 at 05:42 AM

Glen Starek Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #15 · Birds on ice Very cool series, Bill. What a treat this early to see these shots. I really like #1 Glen Feb 16, 2008 at 07:52 AM

Bill Hollinger Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #16 · Birds on ice This is a wonderful sequence, and such a delight to see. Thank you! Thanks everyone. I made some prints of these, and we took the 13 x 19 print of the Chickadee out into the sunlight, and it just comes alive. The ice glistens like crystal and even the tiniest details in the Chickadee’s feathers are visible (they almost totally disappear in the tiny web image here). I think I’ll print one on 17 inch roll paper today. These poor guys look wet and miserable, and probably more accurately depiction of the conditions that day, Feb 17, 2008 at 01:19 PM
