Masterful work!
Dan

I second Dan's comments Karl!!! Just fine, SUPER fine detail and processing!!! Dan always speaks so highly of your work and this is a prime example.

The eagles are passing through here, West Point MA, on their way South to Dan's area and I need to get out.
Again OUTSTANDING!!!
Angelo

Geeez Angelo now I am owing you $20 too

I appreciate your kind words, I continue to set my goals higher on compositions and processing though the help here on the forum has truly advanced me to areas I would not have accomplished on my own and I will share anything I know, or think I know

Don't miss the Eagles!
Thanks much and take care.........

Wow what a treat looking at these with my spankin new 27in iMac!! They look super. You done well for a beggar of lens!!

The BB is very sweet and the Mallard Group shot is super.

Great Sparrow shot! You have an ID on that particular specie?? Similar to a Lark Sparrow that we see in Eastern Oregon although not around the Portland area.

good to see you back at shooting and not simply criticizing my posts mercilessly!

Thanks Mike! Wow, maybe I should post my shots larger for you now

Good to hear they looked good to you buddy

On your next post you will get a 'Atta boy' and like it

Karl

I believe the sparrow to be the American Tree Sparrow?

Hi Karl, looks like you had a great day! I love the bokeh backgrounds and beautiful colors! I think both of those lenses do well with that! The sparrow is premo light! Love the Starling too.

Nice shootin' there Karl.

For the flight shots, you just need to practice is all.

Thanks kindly Linda. Glad there were elements of interest and appreciation here for you. It is nice to know that you liked the sparrow image and the Starling

I surely wish I had the opportunities to practice more Jody, seems like I get a lesson and then it is weeks or more before another. I am on a slow pace but moving forward..............I think

Thanks for stopping by.

Fine series Karl and a nice capture of the blue bird. I actually have two rose bushes with some rather sad looking red roses still hanging on.

Funny you say that Lou, my rose bush is hanging on too and had a few recent new blooms, it is confused

Either that or jealous that I was out shooting feathers again

Glad you liked the bluebird, they are a great subject in the right light!

Wow! Look at these, Karl1
what a very nice series.
Ilike them all--byut the blue bird is just wonderful--especially #2. I would love to sdee that one cropped in a little tighter. Love the pose on that one.
My other favorite is the starling! Nasty birds but you made it look beautiful!

This is a wonderful set,Karl. I agree that Duckies are fast flyers and you got some good shots. #1,6 and 9 are my top pics but all images are excellent.
