Bird Pics for C&C

[tookie]

My first bird shots taken with 300mm + 1.5 extender

thoughts on lighting, focus, sharpness etc

TIA

Great job. They all seem nice and sharp. Great for using a teleconverter. Lots of teleconverters tend to soften pics.

great capture!

Thank you both. I hope to work on some more tomorrow

They are really nice. I've never seen a two-toned cardinal before.. if that's what that is.

Those are the females
Thank You for your comment

Really nice! Usually with birds, I like males better, but the female is quite interesting. I've never seen female cardinal before either. Impressive for a first go at a lens!

I like #1 and #3 as they are the same image.

Nice shots.

I think they nice, but does any one else think that the contrast is lacking?

Thank You. I am very new to PS and was afraid of pushing it too far. I will do some work on that

Nice captures. I agree that the lighting is a bit drab. Try one of these maybe if you have a flash....
Amazon.com: The Flash X-Tender (Better Beamer) FX-5 Flash Output Booster for Canon 430-EX, Pentax AF500FTZ: Camera & Photo

They make them for other flashes as well
