Birds

Carmelo75

We have recently been visiting a local kind of zoo, where they have a lot of trained birds and where they heal blessed animals... a good occasion to change a bit from my usual subjects!

Here are a couple of shots that I particularly liked:

#1



#2



During the day they organized also a spectacle with free birds flying around, a quite impressive experience, especially when we had big vultures passing at less then one meter above our heads... at that point I tried to take some shots of the birds in flight, just to find out that its a damn difficult exercise...

I could nevertheless get away with a couple of sufficiently sharp shots. Here they are:

#3



#4



Any C&C is very much appreciated as usual.

Thanks for looking. Andrea.

Hi Andrea......

1. The BIF shots are good. I have tried it and it ain't easy... If I get a BIF I can show I consider myself lucky.....

2. The second picture is a good picture....but cutting part of the feet off "I think" hurts the composition...... I have done the same think shooting horses. I open up the picture and the hooves are gone

3. In the first photo the out of focus bird competes with the center of interest..Even numbers general do not make for a good composition... 2 4 6 not so good 1 3 5 much better.... Are you aware of the rule of thirds.......???? If not you might want to Google it........

Looking forward to seeing more of your work.........:Dgary

I admit that I felt very stupid when I saw the cut feets :whip... yet I much liked the B&W conversion and decided to post it anyhow...

About #1, I like to break rules, sometimes it works, sometimes not... dunno

Thanks a lot for commenting and suggesting, I really appreciate.
