On second one you are lucky to have a stationary subject or at 1/4 of second, with that f18, you would have lots of blur motion. Don't be afraid to use higher than ISO 400 as your 30D's sensor is really good in giving you low noise and good quality image, then you can add on F or increase shutter speed. You have a tad lack of sharpness. I add a bit of sharpness and think looks better. Thanks for that samsen. I do not have a flash gun at the moment - any recommendation's?. TOP BIRD SHOTS

Good job.
