I thought I would share a few images taken today. Friends tell me they are very good but of course the real test is when the experts look. Any comments and advice on how to improve welcome.

I know the one above is cropped too far in but sometimes you have little choice if there is distracting backgrounds, handlers etc. This one one of those occasions.

Thanks
 
I'm not an expert but, for me, they're a cracking set of pics, #2 has to be my fave from the set
 
Stephen,

Again, no expert. My comments on no 1 and 2

No 1 has blown highlights on the under wing. A simple sort is to use shadows/highlights and set the sliders to - shadows 10/20/20 and highlights to 70/30/30. Still leaves a little bit of pure white (blown).

I would then crop the image, tighter to the tail and top wing while leaving space for the bird to fly into - the rule of thirds seems to work here.

No 2, haven't played with this one - but again a tighter crop at the tail. Don't like the overall colour, the colour of the grass is distracting.

Regards,

John
 
Many thanks for kind comments and feedback.

John - I will have a go at this at the weekend. I'm out and about with work till then.

Thank you
 
Of course being a Nikon owner the pictures will come out well , like them all.

The bird handler said the same thing oddly enough:)
