Birds

Playing with my new Nikon 300 f4 lens and used the Nikon 1.4 TCE II

Very nice!! Great pov on the first, and love its indignant expression. Good capture. And the second is quite something too...love how its head is turned to look at you. Good panning.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. Appreciate it.

Do you happen to know what kind of birds they are?

 

[PushingTin]

Yes, the first is a cape bulbul and the second is a Blacksmith Lapwing

That first is good and is a really interesting pose - but that second is a real winner! Brilliant!
Sharp, red eye contact, detailed and the lighting is good - well done!

I love the first one, very cool connection with the bird's eyes.

Thx for all the comments. The first one was cropped quite a bit and the second hardly at all.
