working on my small bird photography at the weekend, pretty pleased with these, hopefully I can continue improving throughout the year.

 

Nice set................

 

I`d be pleased too if they were mine. You have got some very good details in each shot, plus the eyes are nice and sharp with a catch light too.

 

Thanks for the comment,

My next quest is how much do you crop in by? Probably why I take more birds in flight, I find with small bird shots like this I never know how much to crop. Especially for no.4 I feel I could probably of gone in a bit tighter so there is more focus on the bird and less twig distractions.

 

Thanks,

I've got more, but my flickr was playing up last night so couldn't upload them.

 

Mark, really nice and crisp!

 

Very nice set! As far as cropping goes, I'm kind of a fill the frame guy. I would turn these to portrait orientation, maybe 4X5 and crop away.

 

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind!

 

Thanks Jeff!

 

Thanks Dean!

Did a re-edit on one of the blue tit shots, didn't realise it looked so washed out :>
