p.2 #1 · Bald Eagle of Milan,mallard chick & lots more!

Allright, let's try to be serious. Excellent variety, Nello. The good exposure in the first image brings all the good detail in that bird and the low angle helps isolate the bird. I'm glad to see that you finally decided not to center the subject in #2. Too bad you put it on the wrong side of the frame, tho

It is a nice shot anyway, cute subject with fine detail. I like also # 4. Where did you find it, anyway? Nice feel in # 7.

Nello,

Wonderful series.! Every one of them is a winner. My favorites are 1,4 and 6.
But if I have to pick one,I'll pick #4. This Egyptian Vulture looks ellegant and
simply beautiful,as compared to western vultures. Man, what a difference.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice nut shot, Nello

Super set of burd photos in this set. So many I wouldn't know where to start picking favorites. Super set of burd photos in this set. I thinking Ant, Tim, Karl and Chad could learn a thing or two from you. Not me, I'm already good, but they could use some help. Nice nut shot, Nello

Nello,
Sweet series! I really like #6. The lighting is great and I think you did an excellent job with the exposure.

Hey Nello,
What a great post for images and banter.
#1 is an excellent shot, very difficult to get the details in the black color.
Fine detail in #2 and some very pleasing tones.
I love the dead centre effect in #3

, conveys the sense that Dad is watching out for the youngster all right.
You had better reserve an extra seat on the train to Lucerne if you have to bring #5 with you

or maybe a double if you have a pair

Cool Bifs too.
Cheers,
Martin

Lovely series Nello & yes Global Warming is a fact...
Lil - - recovering from Sylmar wildfire storms.... so I'm not doing picks

wrong side of the frame?

hey well at least I gave it a try...next time i'll place it better

That was kinda forced composition because on its right he had a little brother which I cropped out of the picture

#4 was a guest at a rehab center / wildlife sanctuary. They often receive injured birds, treat them and then release them back into the wild.

Sweet shots of all, Never seen bird 1 or 4 before, interesting. #7 looks suspiciously like our pigeon over here, a rare bird found mostly in city parks.

Hide, the Egyptian is a very calm..cool lookin',smart bird. That's why it had a godess-like status in the ancient egyptian culture

Nello, it's been a while since I've seen any of your images, but it's immediately apparent that your skills have skyrocketed. Really nice work here, fella

And your eagle

is especially nice - in fact, it couldn't be any better

Yes, #1 the hooded crow and #4 the vulture are only specific to Eurasia and north Africa. well, at least the winged rats look the same here and over the pond

You're right Maggie...I really sucked before

I upgraded my gear from XT + 70-300 IS to a 40d + 100-400 IS L

that's how my skills skyrocketed

Thx for the compliment...very sweet of ya'
