Hi everyone,

I took these pictures in August but never thought to post them for feedback. Anyway, I thought these turned out pretty good for an amateur like myself, and was wondering what you all think...I know I have lots of room for improvement...suggestions, feedback is much appreciated!
Thanks, Karin

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I like #3 the best, I just can't get past the perch on #1 although the bird itself is terrific, good detail and that cricket :)

    Thanks for commenting Kurt. I have mixed feelings on that perch in #1...while I obviously had no control over where my little friend decided to perch for a pose, I kind of think it gives it a little character?! But maybe that's just me. Anyway, you have some awesome images and I appreciate your comments!

    Welcome. Like I said in your gallery, you have a nice pose of the wren and the prey makes it that much more interesting. The goldfinches are nice foraging in the flowers.
