Caught this guy with a feather on his beak. Thought the picture came out pretty good as well. Fort Worth Zoo. Thoughts?

Five pics from this weekend. Just saw this. Gonna downsize my picture and re-post it here in a sec.

The feather makes it!! It's sharp, good bokeh - a really nice capture which is just a little "different".

Thanks for the comment. :-)

I actually hadn't seen the term "Bokeh" before so I googled it. Pretty interesting! The background in this shot is just water which was obviously a bit dirty. The sunlight made some nice sparkles on it. I didn't actually do any post processing other than the resize at all.

Taken with a Nikon D40 & THIS lens. I always shoot this lens with the hood on it. Don't know how much of a difference that makes. I'm still learning obviously.

Good sharp shot. I like the bit of halow glow of background around the head.
I usually shoot with my hood on. It makes me look professional.

Indeed it does.
