These are great. Isn't nature wonderful?!! With a little PP you could really make these pop.

I like the pictures of the birds in 2 and 3, the rest are kind of bland. Since it didnt look like there was much color that day you might want to play around with B+W, sometimes a photo that is boring in color looks great in B+W!

I'm with GwHizzKid, I best like Photo 6. Some of the others are too tightly framed, or are severely tilted (4). The play with that big of water spilling over the banks (1) is nice, but should be worked on further in pp.

Many of these show that sometimes it is better not to zoom in too much from the start but better leave some room for a crop, so in the end the swan would still have all of his feet (2), the reflection of the goose could have become another element of composition (3) and the willow tree could have filled the frame without being cropped at its bottom and top (4). Vertical framing is the kind of framing trees ask for, too, I think.

thanks for the input great constructive citicism i have taken it on board and agree with what you say especially about the reflection becoming another part of the composition and also the extreme zooming in when i can use the crop feature, cheers
