First one is my favorite. Great detail and the soft, yet colourful, background is very nice.

Thanks David-I appreciate the feed back,I thought these might have been of interest,but appears not.

Very nice pictures Chris. I especially like the second - such detail and while the vegetation looks good in the others, the bird alone really shines.

Love the feather detail on the second one. Nice DoF on the first.

What a beautiful bird.

Nice and sharp.

Normally, that type of light would be considered highly unflattering, but seems to work quite well here.

Hi Chris,

Nice shots. The background in the first in particular is exceptional.

Thank you for your comments,feed back is much appreciated-I trying to improve my bird photography,Good point H-re lighting,I have started using AV mode a lot more in the last couple of weeks,and I feel I am starting to get some better results with birds on the perch.Its no good for BIF and I go to manual for that.

I'll post the camera settings for these later.

Cheers Chris
