I think this would be a much more impressive shot if you showed the entire bird. As it is there's an awful lot of blue sky, I'd probably crop it more. But that is just my opinion.
A little fill-flash might get you more eye definition. But you had a good angle--hard shot against the bright sky!

Thanks, this was un planned, and i was not prepared. That was all that i got on the bird, i really wish i would have gotten more, but oh well... :(

Birds were just flying all around me, so i just started snapping, and this was the best that came out...

Here is another, not pp or anything, but it didnt come out as well either. some bird got chopped off :(

Yeah, kinda hard to tell these guys what to do and where to go while you take a shot!
I think you are doing well-probably better than I could do!

Lol... thanks

Well, i could say these guys are probably better to work with than models, you know? I was just playing around, and these came out. Sometime i would like to actually 'try' and get some good bird pics, but that will be AFTER i get my 70-200.... lol
