All the photo's are made with a nikon d7100 and a tamron 70-300 vc , soon I have in plan to buy a sigma 150 600 sport and I hope that I can improve a little the quality of the shoot

Thank you for passing by and take the time to watch my photo's.

These shots are pretty good.
BIF are not easy ... and you did pretty good with some of them with the harsher lighting.
I can't say much to add.

Great set.

I had a look at your flickr. Good clean shots overall.
One thing I did see was a little over exposure on the Egrets. I normally under expose 1/2-1/3 ev for Egrets and Snowy Owls.

Thank you for the tips, Next time that I see a egret I try to underexpose.

Pretty solid set IMO

I'm not entirely convinced of the positioning of the bird in the first photo, but haven't played about with it in my mind. However, that's nothing a bit of experimenting with cropping wouldn't answer, so no real criticism. I know shot 3 is a little on the bright side, but I love the impact with the other bird in the background to give interest and context, and shot 4 is a real cracker in my opinion.

Lovely work.
