Particularly the 1st & 3rd........1st one is nice and focused on the eye with the 3rd one looking as though its going to pierce my screen.

Re: Birds of prey

Yup, good set of pics there Fi. Only moan is that Picture one is twoo tightly cropped on the left. We need a bit of space for the bird to look into. Any chane of the bird's right eye in the last pic being lifted in brightness a touch to make it stronger as the left eye is in the light and has strong colour and looks a touch unbalanced.

Ok, that was actually two moans but it's two for one today so BOGOF

Cheers,
Rob

Re: Birds of prey

Hi Fi

I actually agree with Rob about the space in the first one. That was my thought when I first looked at it, so it MUST be a valid comment

Yes the eye does look better. A small thing, but better.

I am impressed by your images. So sharp, focused and alive. Good job. Where did you get these? In the wild, or zoo?

Re: Birds of prey

neither Skip, it is a very small bird of prey centre that is part of Turnberry Golf course..... because it is not well publicised not many folk know about it and it was completely empty so i was able to get as close as these photos look
