Birds 2013

[Greg Beetham]

Nice work Atgets A it is a great capture and deserves to be published, well done.

Ps it’s good to see they didn’t have to put the Crane down DA, that would have been a shame, I’ve heard of bird strikes here with golf balls as well, often fatal. The birds become tame and complacent and don’t think there is any threat from golfers, and there isn’t except accidental ones but what can one do?

Thanks again, chaps. This was my 26th published image in the newspaper, but this one means a lot, because of the subject matter.

Congratulation Atgets. Great shot.

It seems like ages since I last posted new images here. Went out for a little walk yesterday and had a blast.

Those are great shots Mark - I love the Willow Warbler and the gull shots - great contrast between these two birds !

Nice set. I love the second one most.

Thanks gents!

I downloaded LR5 Beta and played with it. One thing I like it over LR3 that I have (LR4 may have it already),
is that when you are dealing with whites/blacks it shows when you have gone too far.

[mvanrheenen]

Those features are in LR4. Nice shot of the Canadian Goose!

[Birma]

That is a fabulous BIF picture Sury - quick, put it in the challenge!

Thank you Mark, Andy and DA. Andy, I did post it in Challenge.

Here are couple of more from the same set.

This one is a ....... White bird with black feathers and mouth open.



I have no idea what this one is called. So I call it yet another" what's its name?"

[Dr. Harout]

Sury, it's a whatchamacallitus albicans.
