I like #7. I actually spent a hour in a local park on saterday trying to get a shot of a mallard doing that, and I just didn't have enough patience.

cool shots doenoe, I like the white duck shot, very pretty bird! my tip would be to try to set up so that there is a long distance between the back of the subject, and the nearest background., and also.. try to have the sun at your back, and your shadow pointing at the subject.

what bird is in #6? very cool shot!

 

[doenoe]

thanks for the tips Raymond. Will keep them in my mind for the next time
And the bird in #6 is just an ordinairy pigeon.
And thanks for the comments

was the pidgeon inside the lens hood?

 

[doenoe]

hehe almost.
He was like 80 cm away from me and with the zoom at almost 300 you can get pretty close
