Zoooper Zet, Nello

The Mallard flap is a fine shot but the space on the right (crop) is a little excessive (crop) but not too bad considering the original comp (crop) didn't leave you (crop) much room (crop) to work with.

#5, well, we expect nothing less from you

Like that proud P'cock you captured in #1, brilliant color and sharpness.

Not sure the the parrot like burd qualifies for a JB shot.

It's not obscured by branches but I am sure he would appreciate the tribute

Is this a joke? Is the good stuff going to show up on page 2

Peacock sure is a pretty bird, wonderfully blue.

I think 3 is fanning away the result of 5

7 Love the color, the soft corral pink, very nice.

Great set Nello, nice variety, well executed.

Hello Nello

I am surprised you didn't go for a little more color in that first one, I personally would have saturated the 'greens' a little more

I like it, it's your style, did good bringing down the hot highlights, real nice deep colors on this beauty.

Did ZOOM say something about comp on #2, can I mention comp on #3

Vertical, vertical IMO

I do like the feathering textures in #7 and that sure looks like a very accurate color rendering too.

Super BG's on #1 and #4 Nello, clean and pleasing

Nice series here, Nello. #3 and #7 are my favorites. The detail in #7 is wonderful. I also agree that the 40D and 100-400 are a great combination (as you have shown with these images).

My same combo is not giving me those results. Should I see my doctor, or will Canon give my combo some Viagra under warranty

Yes, but there are a number of things the 100-400 can do that the 400 f5.6 can't.

I have both and each has its pluses and minuses.

Excellent colorful series Nello

Now I know why Canon is keeping 40D in current production and not updating the 100-400L lens it is ALL YOUR FAULT

Looks like you are enjoying yourself Nello and sure is a pleasure to view. Beautiful one of the peacock and the parrot. There are a lot of those cormorants and other migratory birds on the Geneva lakethese days but its hardly possible to get within an ass's roar of them they are so nervous. When I was on the French side of the lake at the weekend I came across hunters staked out by the side of the lake so I suppose its not suprising.
Keep it up

On the mallard I tried a vertical crop too but the overall comp. would be even tighter w a 2:3 format

Peacocks at the park are gettin' more & more cooperative these days. Long way from a few months ago when I couldn't get really close. Now I can get within 10-12 feet which really helped w details

Thx for stopping by!
