C&C - Lunch

I'm rather proud of these shots, I would greatly appreciate some C&C. I found that it was more effective to convey what was happening with a series of photos rather than just one.

I think you need to crop a little closer, to emphasis.

I agree. I already cropped these pretty heavily, so I was reluctant to go any further. Once I find some spare cash I'm going to buy a 1.4x/1.7x tele for this type of stuff. Even with the 300 and a crop sensor these guys were far away... which was exactly what I had read online about bird photography: "You won't be close enough. Period"

300 2.8 on a Nikon D7000

Ah, a teleconverter would be fine for that.

Hey, check out this FB page of my friend Thy https://www.facebook.com/pages/Thy-Wildlife-Photography/248658331878106

Now granted he has every lens (I'm not exaggerating) and the best bodies but perhaps it will bring you some inspiration.
