Chaffinch from today.

Too many people with dogs around today to get a pic of the ellusive Kingfisher,did see one but it flew past at the speed of sound.Had to make do with the Chaffinch,not too disappointed though as there`s always tomorrow.

nice looking bird

Nice Chaffinch series Carlton.

beautiful captures!
I like the combination of the color of the bird and the color of the background a lot, it really makes the pictures a joy to look at.

The bokeh is very nice, which lens did you use for these pictures?

Erez

Carlton, very nice sharp pics, I guess from your exif you were using a 400mm f/2.8 with a 2x ? if that is the case I am amazed at the sharpness with a 2x.

Cheers

Thanks for the comments.
Erez,Nick the lens was the 400mm f2.8 + EX x 2 then tweaked a little using DPP.

Great series, sharp detail, nice bokeh just great.

Nice shots! I especially like the second for the pose and windswept head feathers.

Thanks Phil,Daniel......... the 2nd one would be my favourite too,1st pic would be 2nd,the 3rd one is too flat if you know what i mean.
