I usually take photos of my daughter but I was outside the other day and there was this Robin in my tree. So I thought what the heck I'll try my hand at taking some photos of the bird. All I can says is I thought to myself 'trying to get a decent shot of a bird is so much harder than getting a good shot of my 2 year old running around'. My hat goes off to all of you that get those amazing photos of bird!!  A beginner in the World of Photography

Obviously a shame the branch masked a bit of the tail end out -but hey, it's nicely focussed. Thank You!!! I'm disappointed with the branch be there!! A beginner in the World of Photography

trmwf Goldmember More info | May 15, 2009 15:31 | #5 To be honest, most times a whole bird is desired but at the same time, a little more natural look like a branch in front, especially if it does not block the body or head, is perfectly fine by me. In fact, there have been times when it actually enhanced the shot in my opinion. I always say, shoot 'em like YOU like 'em! Mike
