Not A Bird

[paulnj]

i treed this cute little guy so i could take a few images at eye level or there abouts

100-400 at 200mm? and cropped to vertical on the first, then 400mm fullframe on the second. i could have spent all day with it, but it was not happy to be bothered by me.so i left quickly so he/she could go about the day in peace

This is a great shot, Paul. Nice and sharp, and good exposure. Not sure there is anything to critique. What a cute little guy!

Great great! 'Course I can't remember ever having any critiques on your pix...I just can't capture these things, and am in awe of them. Got any Cardinals?

Very nice. I used to get "Ranger Rick" magazine as a kid and this gives me flashbacks. I really like the clarity of the eyes.

Dear Paul:

This is amazing! This needs to be a poster, or a magazine cover -- BOTH are excellent.

You are a wonderful photographer, you can shoot ANY subject and do it well. I bet you can do fashion photography like Steve and Charles, and portraiture photography like Sebastian -- you are very skilled Paul. And, I am very impressed!

Thank you for sharing these good shots with all of us.

Best to You,
Penny

nature is what i love, so nature is what i shoot.


i want a critique though...... i get the point that people like it, but i want to know what could improve it

Fine...

The first one is the better of the two, vertical framing works much better with that pose and BG. I wish I could see his whole body, that the lower section wasn't cut off. Contrast and exposure seem dead-on. Love the one eye showing, one in the shadow, adds to the feeling that he's trying to hide.
