Some from this weekend

It finally was decent enough to get out this weekend, worst part about winter is all the drab grey skies we get.

1. Tundra Swan

2. Northern Cardinal

3. Downy Woodpecker

Any comments or suggestions for improvement are appreciated!

Focus!!!!

Not bad images. I like the Cardinal the best. The only think I might have done would be to clone out the piece of "white-stuff" on the left side of the photo of the swan. I would also like to have seen more detail in the swan's feathers.

I like the swan and I was able to bring out a wee bit more detail by duplicating / create new layer and adding a boatload of contrast to the new layer. Blend to taste.

Good set

That definitely looks better!
How does one shoot swans without blowing them out or underexposing everything else?
