p.1 #1 · Coot in the grass

Found something new to me today on a brief outing so I thought I would post it. They are not common in these parts.

40d, 400 5.6L

Tim

1 Greater White fronted goose (the new one)
2 Goldfinch feasting on thistle (might be a tad soft around the eyes, hand held)

Coot in the grass, has a nice jingle to it Tim

Nice easy feel to it, live the FG and BG on this one. I think the finch is spot on for sharpness, I see nothing soft at the eye

I like the markings on the bird, just a little busy on the BG but that is nature

Great color!

I love that first shot Tim. Have to agree with Karl on the second shot, spot on.

They are both very nice shots, Tim. Very sharp detail in the second pic. Nice angle, feel, bg and detail in the first one.

Exotic "coot in the grass" I would say

Nice couple of captures Tim, the detail in the finch is excellent

Tim,
Great capture on the finch, love the detail and that it's eating the little seeds.

Thanks

A couple of fine looking burd photos, Tim, but I don't see no stinking coots. Were da coots?

Thank you Mr, Witt. My first thought when I saw the geese in an open field was "what background is there" I got a good angle on it and it took care of itself. The finch, they were moving around so much bg's selection we nigh on impossible.

First one is a great shot Tim. Like the second one too, a nice behavioural study.
