Great color tones and clarity in these, Gary. Love that background in the 2nd, really makes him stand out. Mike

Great shots, Gary. Were you using a tc? Are they cropped, and what was your distance from them?

Keep up the great work, Bud.

You take a common bird and make it a work of art. The bokeh, color, and clarity are superb.

Excellent work!

Jim

Jim you are too kind, I just love the post you have been putting up lately.

Thanks Wiley! No TC's,

#1 straight 600mm at about 35 feet, cropped a second dove head on the left which made it about 85% full frame.

#2 straight 300mm at about 12-15 feet, 90% full frame.

I cheat, I have a little pond with a waterfall in my backyard and during the winter, the birds drop by often.

Thanks Jason. This is the only game bird that has come around close enough for a shot. Normally the pheasants come around but they haven't shown up in the yard yet. The Hawks stay in the tree tops and haven't been approachable at all, and this morning as I am looking out in the back a GBH has landed in the middle of the field right behind me so far away that I won't be able to get a picture of him, so I guess until I am able to get out I will have to be content with the small birds.
