A few shots from the beach and zoo.

so today I took a trip to the zoo (the first time in probably 10 years) and stopped by the beach on the way home, here are a few bird shots.

Only one I've processed from the beach so far, I'll probably add more later.

no1, i find the two blurry birds annoying. No2 and 3 are outstanding, love the colours!No4, pity the duck wasn't looking more your way, and no5 is a touch oof? But great shots, keep them coming.

really? i think that the two oof birds really help composition wise, and yes no5 was slightly oof, and i overharpened it trying to fix it

oh well, i'll try to get more up tommorow.

2 is my favorite... i really love the colors...

thanks, those birds were so photogenic

you may be right! in another photo somewhere, someone commented they didn't like the seagull in the foreground, others said they did (including me), so a lot of it is personal preference. But you do have some lovely shots
