I was working in the garden with the rotivater yesterday and this chap showed up very interested in the worms I was turning up. Any advice on how to improve shots like this is very welcome... k100 and pentax 80-320....jeff[IMG]http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad350/jeffstclair/IMGP3841.jpg[/IMG]

It's a very nice shot. I like the colours, and the post and wire fence the bird is sitting on; it could do with cropping though. I would take some off the right hand side, to put the bird on a third and looking into the frame, and some off the top to keep the landscape format. It's also perhaps a tad bright? It's a shame we can't really see it's eye.

Yeah I see what you are saying ,this one I got a bit closer and I have also croped it more. I think I might be on the limit with this lens what do you think? ...jeff[IMG]http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad350/jeffstclair/IMGP3803.jpg[/IMG]

That looks a lot better but maybe it's cropped just a little too close to the bird on the right hand side? I think it would be better with the bird bang on a third. Likewise the other picture could do with a bit more space on the left, if the crop removed some of that?
