These are soooo cool.
Great job!

[John Trogdon]

Wow, those are really nice. I like the third pic, even though the bird is not entirely in the picture. I like how he's looking into that blank space. Others may argue the point. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work Chris. I also like the 3rd pic because of the lead and empty space.


Are the first two from your feeder setup? If so you look like you need a new branch.... :wink:
Which just reminds me that I should be working on designing the SuperFeeder 9000 Mark IIc....

[cmM]

thanks for the kind words gentlemen :D

Scottes, yup, that branch has been through a long winter :-P

Really nice shots, Chris ... #3 is outstanding!

[Arsonist lolol]

Yeahh #3 all the way, great stuff!

[cmM]

thank you for the replies, I appreciate it.

Since spring just came here recently I'm really enjoying shooting all this stuff outside of the studio and weddings etc... It's a cool change. I'm lovin it :D

[LadyHawk]

Good job! What lens did you use, Chicago?

[Lioness]

Nice job- I like the second one because of his colouring and the sharpness.

[cmM]

Karen, these are taken with the 100-400L
Thanks lioness ;)

[RbrtPtikLeoSeny]

Love the fourth!

[PacAce]

Great shots, Chris. I like the nice blurred background. How close were you to the birds to get the bg so smooth and blurred like that?

[cmM]

Thanks guys

Leo, I was about 15ft away
