I took these while i was back visiting my family in Northern Ireland

Pictures taken with Canon EOS 350D and a Sigma 70-300mm zoom lense.

Please let me know what you think.

Hi Conor, lovely birds. I so like robins!
And you get a lot closer to "your" birds (or "your family's" birds), than I do to "my" birds.
Don't you ever do anything to your photos in Photoshop or a similar post processing programme? For they could do with a little boost of contrasts, or a shift of the curves towards "darker" in Photoshop. Then the colours would immediately come out more. I would particularly like to see that in the robin-pic. Also the little tit could do with some deeper contrasts.

I hope you don't mind but here's a little work in CS2. I like your composition, they just seemed a little washed out, like you were shooting into the sun.

Hi LaFoto

It is something i need to get a grasp of. My camera came with a copy of ArcStudio so im trying to learn how to use that.

Just a bit of time and patience i guess!!
