Spread your wings
by LandzEnca

Comment:
Good capture of the full wing spread and tail feather spread as the bird comes in for a landing. Wow, I really hate the background. I'm sure you are trying to deal with a dark subject against a bright background. Pigeons are so common, there must have been a better lighting situation.

Pretty tough lighting situation. Maybe it could have been an opportunity for a fill flash. Or, just move your feet. But, I understand the interest in capturing the human/pet interaction.

Finch on a Fence

Comment:
Lesser Goldfinch, adult female. Good capture of her vocalization. There is a slight halo around the perimeter of the bird. I don't mind the fence. The bg is great. Feather detail is good.

The rounded tail would make this a crow. Had the tail been wedged shaped, it would have been more likely ID'd as a raven. It's an interesting in flight motion blur image. I like it.

Good peak at a domestic rooster. Some hot spots in the background. And, you are expecting the viewer to look at and past some big pieces of OOF wood. I do recognize the sharp focus on the rooster.

She and He!

Comment:
Gulls, but I cannot narrow down the species. The focus is better on the more distant bird. Might have been better to have the foreground bird sharply in focus. Then, the viewer would be more tolerant of the narrow DOF.

Pretty scene with a low angle sun. The fog over the water is a nice atmospheric effect. In the northern hemisphere, most birds have completed their migration and are in some stage of nesting or training fledglings. We don't see many flocks of migrating birds in June. So, my guess is this is a southern hemisphere scene, but that is purely a guess. (probably wrong)

Curious BlueJay with cataracts

Most of the jays like to sit in the shade. Seems like the background was much brighter originally and you've adjusted in PP. That can be great, but watch the JPG artifacts and the overall effect on the image. To me, this is a flat image with the BJ looking like it's been masked out from the background.

Little Blue Heron. Nice shot, as in good capture of hunting motion. 7
