p.1 #1 · Big Bird and Small Drops


Had a surprise visit by the red tailed hawk looking for a meal.

The last two are due to staying in with the chilly damp weather. Just playing with feather and water drops.

As always, your looks and comments are most appreciated and welcomed.

Hope you enjoy.

Roberta, Drops are very beautiful and interesting, The hawk is sharp with a nice pose very nice as well, I might suggest cropping a bit of the background to highlight the bird more. Bruce I hope I got your name right, I have not been active on the forum for a long time but hope I remember it correctly.

You've done it again Birdie, you've left us speechless. The last two are creative genius.

Great variety Birdie. Wet 'macro' shots of bird feathers can be fresher and more interesting than shots of whole birds.

I bet you used BI to create the feather shots.

Thanks so much Tony. I think I just got the reference to AI and BI ! I can be a bit slow at times. No BI or AI used .

I think you use Birdie Intelligence most of the time.

Very nice set of images, BIrdie. I especially like that last wet feather image. It's inspiring to see someone doing something creative when the weather isn't cooperating, rather than what I usually do -- which is to become a computer zombie!

The #4 image is a powerful and #3 to a lesser degree Birdie. Nice crisp captures on the RTH.

Enjoying the pearlescent look to the water/feather images, nice soft color palette

RTH looks excellent in that light, nice work
