Birds on snow
Posted By: Heinrich Lohmann, 12-22-2009, 11:54 PM

Too cold to take the camera out for too long so I took some shots from inside through double pane windows.

K20d and 55-300




Comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Wow! Beautiful! I really love the last one, it's just stunning. Both shots are beautiful, and all of these shots coming out of the 55-300 lately are always crisp.

I love the perspective on the first one Heinrich but the last one is stunning AND through glass.

Heinrich, I love both. The first one has a very pleasant composition, the second one is just so detailed. Wonderful, thanks for showing.

BR,

Ah... I love these. Such a sense of peace. Really lovely. Both of these could be a Christmas card.

Yes, quite nice, but I like the painterly look of the first image best. Love how the orange-browns are replicated in the birds and tree against the white snow. Bribing them again, eh?

Hi JMR and thank you but no, no, I wouldn't bribe them unless feeding them is a bribe?
