Evil-eyed b*****s aren't they :suspect2: But, lovely shots, cracking bokeh and the colour is so vibrant.

bokeh ? What does that mean? Nice!

 

[stepheno]

It's where the background goes beyond out of focus and the fuzziness takes on unrelated or abstract shapes. To me it's particularly evident in the second shot. The down side is that, sometimes, the background becomes more interesting than the subject. HTH.

colours are fantastic Ian, with Flamingos, i like to see the whole bird, they are so graceful, but but ugly

Brilliant - really captured their expression well

It makes a change for you Ian... the zoo!

Nice colour and nice bokeh. The 100-400 has done you proud there.

Really vibrant colours you have captured - personally I think they are fabulous birds ... saw them in all their glory in Kenya ... Lake Nakuru I think !

For me the birds in focus would have benefited if they had been clear of others in the b/ground ... only mo of course !

Venomator, i would have loved to seperate them but there were so many gettting any sort of shot without one in the background proved nearly impossible !

I do understand that Ian - the problem with communal birds the world over ! onders:

But still pics to be proud of in any event ! :smilenod:
