Weekly Gardenbirder's 52 for 2021

[Nostromo]

Choice
Lovely light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[d00d]

Lovely scene, nicely framed, the perfect amount of branches up top.

 

[Shugpug]

That looks like a lovely location for a portrait as well - nicely taken, and the snow adds to the feel of the photo.

A Pair of Sulphur-winged Parakeets feeding in dense shrubbery taken on a trip to Panama in 2017 for my wife's big birthday. Can wait to get travelling again!

 

[FlyPhot]

Lovely image, great use of greens and the birds are really nicely captured.

 

[d00d]

Nice pair. Parakeets are fun and photography well.

 

[HelenC]

Almost two peas in a pod. Well spotted and shot.

 

[susiejb]

Well that’s a great choice for the theme, super colourful shot.

 

[Cloudforest]

Lovely shot. That patch of red on the cheeks focuses the eye on the birds and makes them stand out against all the green.

 

[SteveSc]

That's a lovely shot, like the mix of greens yet the pair of birds stand out clearly.

 

[-Oy-]

Nicely paired parots

 

[seaodyssey]

[Nostromo]

Pair
They're well camouflaged, the red cheeks draw the attention to their faces well.

 

[gardenbirder]

A montage of primates (10 species I think) taken respectively in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Panama, Sri Lanka, India and The Philippines. Hopefully you guessed '12 monkeys'?

 

[Fuji Dave]

Got it right away, nice set of monkey images too.

 

[-Oy-]

I was thinkling Planet of The Apes. Nice montage.

 

[HelenC]

Great set. I guessed correctly too!

 

[CliveH]

I guessed Planet of the apes too! There are some photogenic chaps there!

 

[Nostromo]

Film
I'm rubbish at guessing these films.
So even though I didn't get it, I still think what you've done to make the film title is quite creative.

 

[vanishedbob]

I thought Planet of the Apes too. Duuur! Great idea and nicely put together.

 

[susiejb]

I did think apes at first glance, but then realised they’re all monkeys! Great to see such a varied selection showcasing your travels, and perfectly representing your film choice.

 

[gardenbirder]

Really struggled for an idea this week but then, lying awake last night I remembered taking this through a skylight when we lived in Cornwall a few years ago... i'd say that's pretty much half!

 

[Kell]

That's some going - mega crop or mega lens?

 

[-Oy-]

Nice Moon shot - always better away from full moon to get that lovely edge detail

 

[FlyPhot]

Nicely done, great detail and fits the theme.

 

[gardenbirder]

That's some going - mega crop or mega lens?

Thank you! It was a birding set-up, 500ml lens, auto-focus, remote trigger, tripod and gimble head out of a velux window on a bright moonlit night Moderate cropping but pretty much the only sharp image out of about 50 attempts!

 

[catclick]

Lovely detail!

 

[d00d]

Nice. I like a half moon, when you're no sure if you can see the other half or not.

 

[Bebop]

excellent half moon!

 

[HelenC]

Great detail in your moon. Love it.

 

[LC2]

Nice moon shot. Not as easy as they look are they
