This poor little bird looked so out of place slipping around on the ice.
This was a hard shot to get because the lighting just sucked...totally flat and not much of it! :wall-an:
This was the best I could do out of a ton of shots I took most of them ended up in the junk file! :headslap:

The second one really does it for me, thanks for sharing Casil.
Good job casil...I like them both but #1 shows the cold solitude of the moment best for me:highfive:
PS...It's not uncommon for me to take 30-40 shots of a bird with only two or three being of any worth:)
Thanks Z and MAw....thanks too for the tidbit Maw...you just make it look so easy! :)
When I grow up I wanna take pix just like Michaelaw!
I'm the same Casil ... I'll take dozens of shots of birds and keep only a small few of them because most are substandard by comparison.
That second shot is good. With that external flash you've have nailed that sucker!!
Thanks MA.Quote:

definitely mortgage payment. it's hard to upload photos if you are homeless :)
I like both photos. the first for the mood and the second for the detail.
good work!
I agree with MAW on this one...totally dig shot 1 for its feeling of solitude.
I like the 1st shot, because the composition is better and it does portray that loneliness a lot more! The 2nd shot seems a little bit too dead on/up close that it loses a lot of possible effect and doesn't have much perspective. The 2nd one is nonetheless a good picture, but falls under the category of portraiture or a simple descriptive photo of nothing but the bird. Dscovery channel/wikipedia type stuff. This is all just a personal opinion of course.
Keep it up!
