A few from today. It's nice to be on vacation in Hong Kong.

1. Chinese Pond Heron. What do you guys think of the crop?

2. Crested Bulbul. This guy let me get so close, I cut off his tail :oops:

3. Kingfisher. I know it's not sharp, it's a 100% crop, but I've always wanted to get one of these guys, so I'm just happy to have the shot.

The heron picture is very nice. As far as the crop goes, the unfocused branch distracts me a bit but I am being picky since you asked. I still like it.

I love the one of the crested bulbul and I think the Kingfisher came out very well.

Thank for sharing.

I actually like the "severity" of the crop, Perry, nice shot.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I wasn't so sure about the crop myself, but I liked it best out of all the ones I tried.

Doc, couldn't really do much about that branch :lol: .

What, you couldn't get that heron to pose away from the branch?! :lol:

Once again, great shots.
