Streamliningby wejnaComment: Possibly a Eurasian Curlew, but I've never seen one. Lots of negative space, which is somewhat effective composition. The bird begs to be seen closer. |

Purple Finchby NobodyComment: Streaked flanks, pale grayish auriculars and curved culmen indicate this is a House Finch. I could certainly be wrong. I really like the pose and the oak perch and background. There are some indications of "jaggies" on the feather edges and tree leaf and stem edges. Not sure why, but it's noticable. |

I'm Not Scaredby JuliBocComment: Looks a bit like a tricolor heron, but the field marks don't match. So, I don't know the ID of this bird. Great detail in feathers, eye and beak. |

Dikkop Portrait - Ready for my nose ringby kasabaComment: A very good closeup of a confined bird with neutral background. Photographing a confined is okay, as that is the only way some people ever see some birds. The feather detail, eye detail and beak detail is superb, as one should expect from a bird which cannot flee. |

Smooth Landingby signal2noiseComment: Very difficult (and common) lighting problem. Bird in the shade is properly exposed. The sunlit background wildly bright. It's a great pose. Good focus. Great Egret, possibly, but I'd need to see some field marks to know for sure. |

Spread your wingsby LandzEncaComment: 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. |

stealing the hatby shoot_the_runnerComment: 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 Fenceby fpalumboComment: 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. |

cawby tnunComment: 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. |
