    Nice capture here and the first one is a bit soft. Love the backgrounds in these.

    Excellent captures! thumb.gif

    On the first one I think I would try adding a little canvas on the left...but that's nitpicking.

    Hah yeah it is a bit soft, but damn they are not easy to shoot. That leads to the next comment. I couldn't agree more, if there was any!

    That's what I was able to get in frame.

    the first shot looks like you cloned out something around the tail ,needs to be cleaned up.The claws are both very strange ?? not sure what you did there .Like Ric said a bit more room . All in all still a not an easy capture well done

    Looks like a bird in a refuge or something?? Well captured. I like the second one. Beautiful colours and background too.
