[ratssass]

I feel like one of these should be nominated for the photo of the month but I am not sure which one.

really!!!which one???lol

Thanks guys, this was by far my most successful birding venture as far as IQ goes, it was in the morning with the sun up, so I was able to keep my ISO really low, last time I was out I had to push it up to 3200 which decreased the IQ quite a bit

Just Beautiful!!!!!!!!! Would Love an area that I could go to like that. So When can I come visit?

Wowie Kazowie!!! :shock: :hail:

Incredible. Stunning. Gorgeous. Bee-U-T-FUL!!

That does it, though. I am NOT posting my most recent Eagle shots. They suddenly look like they were taken with a point-and-shoot compared to yours and coastalconn's recent shots. :lmao:

Thanks Sharon, don't deprive us of your images though!

I think #2 is a real winner, the whole set is wonderful, great capture

 

[Aloicious]

heh, thanks Mully, yeah #2 is funny, you can just see the standing eagle is NOT impressed with his friend's attempts to show off.

#2 from the 2nd set.............now I remember......Judas Priest-Screamin' For Vengeance

Those are great shots. I especially like the flight shots. Their eyes and eyebrow ridges (do eagles have eyebrows?) make them look intense!

I was wondering about tele converters and possible loss of quality. No issue in these shots! Fabulous

Thanks! its also worth noting that the teleconverter I use did require a little AF fine tune correction, not much, but enough to make a good difference.

Excellent, they're all simply...er...excellent. What more can one say?

 

[Aloicious]

Thanks! I think I'm going to try a re-edit of #9 and remove that gull in the foreground when I get home.

 

[Aloicious]

Okay, so I got a chance to re-edit the diving shot (#9) which was one of my favorites of the series, except for that gull in the foreground. just removed the gull, slightly different aspect ratio crop, and I boosed the saturation a little bit, what do you think of the new version?
