The odds and ends
p.1 #1The odds and ends
Just a few more from a day with dull dreary overcast light. The Kingfisher had a snow bank bg, I hope to find him again in good light and on a better perch 
C&C welcomed as always

A lovely set Karl. The soft light makes it much easier to photograph birds like the kingfisher helping prevent blowing out the whites. You took great advantage of this. the third is my pick. That cardinal is glowing!

Excellent set Karl, you had some beautiful soft light for these images. I'm partial to #3, top drawer work here.

I like the "sporty" downturned angle of the little chirper in the first shot, and the up-close detail on the last 3. Looks like you are learning how to squeeze great IQ out of that new lens even in low light.

Very nice work Karl. I especially like the color palette of the first two.

You certainly have a way with the little birds among the twigs ! W. Love the sparrows and color pallet.
Bright spot of red against the muted colors, just beautiful. Beautiful set. One forgets how lovely the sea gulls eyes are.
