What can I say that hasn't been already said, thanks for posting

Your C&C is that #1 is 'Exceptionally Great' while 2 and 3 fall in the 'Great' category .

Very nice shots... all of them...

Those are great... really nice contrast job, they jump out at you.

Reyno "C&C" are you kidding, I would love to get the shots you post continually. How much time weekly do devote to this passion of yours ? What is keeper rate out of say 100 shots ? How long have you been taking bird pics ? Maybe this could be a new thread and everyone could post there answers.

Let me answer your questions one at a time Chris.
1. I go out almost every weekend(sometimes weekdays) for two-to-three hours normally in the early mornng or late afternoon.
2. Not sure about the keeper rate but I've observed that over time, it has increased as a result of looking back what I did and what mistakes I made. The reason for this is, over and over, I know I'll be faced with almost, if not the same situation, the next time. As such, it helps me to avoid the same mistakes over and over again.
3.My interest in photography in general began just a little over a year ago when I decided to take on this gig by purchasing my first DSLR - Rebel XT. Since then I've been hooked. One important point though, because I didn't have any prior experience and knowledge of photography, except fo those thousands of posterity shots I took of family and friends with disposables and P&S, I enrolled at NYIP which, until today, haven't been able to finish the course.

Wowza Reyno, now these are really sharp. All great shots but that first is is rockin. Wonderful detail and composition and the subject "pops" really well.

Very nice Reyno with excellent lighting.

Excellent Reyno. Love the detail in the feathers. If the image was any sharper, it would be a lethal weapon!

Great pics Reyno!

1st one is my fav for composition and details.

Thank you Mitcon, Reigh, Ed, & Marc for the looks and comments.

Superb! Cant pick a fave out of these. Thanks for sharing.

Sweet light and the eyes are tack sharp in all three shots Reyno.

Thank you Phil & Stephen for the looks and comments.

These are as good as they get !

WOW! Perfect shots!

What lens did you use, any TC's?
