Great shot... but I must be missing something, what extra eye? [feeling very stupid and unobservant]

The stonechat looks like a lovely, lively little bird, and I really like your off-centre composition. Seems just a tiny bit flat, maybe that was the light, though. Regardless, it's very pleasing. I like the way you managed to frame the robin between two branches. You must be very patient to get these shots!

good timing and nice picture
what lenses?

ToXiQ · 02-11-2007, 02:37 PM

@Julie,

Here a 100% crop resized with no PP.

I guess you now see it

it was difficult I must admit that but the original filesize is showing it clearly better

@tipentax38,

Those are shot with a Pentax A * 600mm f/5.6

When you're done with that lens, Walter, feel free to send it my way

Beautiful pics. Great deatail and composition. I saw the eye on the original cormorant, but missed the fish it was attached to.

WOW cool crop did not notice it the first look.

These are all sweet shots but my absolute favorite is the Stonechat.

looks a bit too orange for a robin to me and the foliage looks a bit too green..

a humorous touche..

Beautiful shots!

Aaah, now I see the extra eye. Very nice. Gotta like those little surprises you get sometimes.

I like them all, but the Stonechat is the winner!

roentarre · 02-12-2007, 11:54 PM

Walter, your shots just make my day better. That bokeh is very pleasing to my eyes.

The full crop is quite sharp considering it occupies less 5% of whole image

Great capture on the Cormorant.
