Grey Fantail

These small birds never sit still,always hopping and darting about catching small insects along the fence line.I managed a few images today.Image one was taken late in afternoon-around 4 pm-so I used AV 5.6,speed was 400,iso 500,partial metering.Fairly pleased with this image-the pose and stance of the bird.Also no cropping and very little PP

Image two was taken earlier in the day at around 2.30 pm,so more light,so AV 8,speed 640,iso 400 partial metering.This image is a bit sharper than one,but I like one better,these birds tend to sit 'long and flat' most of the time-as in image two,which is cropped and had a tad more work in PP-curves and some sharpening.

Critique and comments welcome.Thanks for looking-Chris
