I'm pretty new to digital SLR…critiques welcome.

Question: Any reason picture dimensions max is 640 pixels?

Gambel's Quail

What a gorgeous bird! His (?) camoflauge is so good I can hardly see his face. Great shot. What lens, exposure, etc.?

Great quail image there. Besides the odd crop, I see no real flaws to your images. Maybe a little more sharpening though.

The reason for small file sizes is the load speed for us dialup guys ;) I refuse to pay $50 a month to surf the net, when I can surf for $10 slower at home . That's $500 a year more to feed my birding addiction :)

Good Capture first time i C a Quail dont have any up here :)

I used a Canon Rebel XT SLR with a Canon 70-210 zoom Shutter - 1/1600 Aperture - 10


Over at MTB Review, picture limit is 1024 pixels, (I've posted a number of 'Critter' photos on the Arizona board). I've recropped and resized my shots so the actual bird would be prominent in the photo. The artistic aspect took a second to featuring the bird, itself.

All low resolution for posting.

Thanks for the feedback. Keep it coming.

What MTBR can post larger files? PJ is going to here from me now ;)
