Jack I think this photo is still good, not bad at all, as you were lucky the sky was clear and the bird stands out. Its colourful thats another reason why it still looks pretty good :0. Lucky on all fronts. And the last thing is its a bird in flight. And that alone makes it a pretty great capture Jack :wink: Amin

Ken, I am enjoying watching you and Cliff coming up with these wonderful macros. You taking a rest from the goldies are you? :) you definitely are treating us with some wonderful macros, keep them coming :) This is absolutely wonderful. Did you have your 1.7 TC adapter on when you took this one? :)

Fantastic landscape and the sky and clouds absolutely wonderful This is a marvelous shot. The rock formation in the middle also just enhances the whole image, well done

Jack, this is one heck of a shot. LIghting, colours and focus just awsome :). This is one flower with the colours that if you hadn't pulled it off with this fantastic shot it would end up looking really dull, but you got it spot on and you managed to turn a simple combination of colours into a wonderful and appealing image :). I like it very much, :)

WOW Cliff, this is truly awsome. Look at that texture and the wonderful sharpness on the subject. And I love that background, this is stunning. Worthy of displaying on a big poster in the room Cliff

Wow, I like this one, just the reflection bit that IMHO if you were lucky enough to avoid that then it would be perfect. But that's just me, others may prefer it that way. Nice shot

Ken Do you see now why I call you king of Goldies? :) This is one heck of a cracker shot, wow. You are raising the bar for quality for these little ones. Now I just remember I better go and put some branches on my feeders lol be right back

Fantastic shot Piotro. At 300mm? dont tell me you shot this handheld :roll::roll::roll:. Wonderful detail and you caught it nicely. It does indeed seem like a crocodile jaws :) Well done

And you didnt need to bump up the ISO. :) Its a fantastic shot Mike, really nice, and handheld :).

Rees, what an excellent capture, fantastic shot, goodness me, look at that ISO setting and you managed to control it pretty good. You can tell I am getting obsessed with ISOs nowadays can't you? :) This is a lovely bird. Haven't seen any in my garden. Are they rare?
