Get out your Magnify Glasses

bfjr

this is my 1st Kingfisher sighting. These will be culled shortly, but just didn't want anyone to think I was slacking off :rofl



Now this is not a Kingfisher, but as long as ya got your Magnifying glass handy might as well look at this one too. :lol4


You can put your glass away now. this one is a little easiear on the eyes

Nice ones! I like the last one best.

Now is that really a hummingbird, it looks like you got a stuffed one and stuck in on that branch.

I am beginning to believe that all shots taken of a kingfisher are like shots taken of bigfoot.

Nice hawk

Looks like my kingfisher shots. :lol4

I'm expecting either you or Jeff to come in with a close up shot, maybe a nice kingfisher macro. :lol

Ben.....what happened? Did you forget your TCs ?

Magnifying glass? Heck....I'm gonna need a microscope for those little things.:D

Nice captures. What's the matta'......don't you like to crop? You could have cropped much tighter....and told a wonderful story to Harry how you snuck up on the elusive kingfisher....and how you got right up next to him..and he posed and sang you a song. :uhoh

Some nice captures machine gun.

ben - i totally dig your bird shots but i don't often comment - i look at all of them!

on this one, i do not like the masking / exposure work - too much evidence of photoshop - so imo, either it needs to be done again or trashed :

keep up the good work!

Yes real hummer, I have a witness :lol4
Ya know I think that's an excellent correlation, maybe I'd be better of trying to shot "BigFoot"
