Couple of More

Just a couple of more from last Saturday

I really like this image, but would welcome opinions .... the photo is essentially "straight out of the camera" with a small crop on the left side (to remove a branch) and the added watermark

I would find it tough to improve on these. I keep looking and thinking "maybe if" but just can't find the flaw. Maybe the light snow on the bird (Can you make it snow more? :unsure: ).
That first one is stunning.

Maybe I will look at them tomorrow and find something, but right now.... Home Run.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.

Mmmm Love the first 2 pics... but I find the bird to be a bit soft... even blurry? and i find the 4-5 snow flakes in the frame to be a bit distracting...

Great work :)

Geoff - You are correct the bluebird is a bit soft, and the snow flakes can be distracting as well. I really was only looking for comment on the first deer image .... but I really appreciate your comments.

Shanna - He was napping as I walked up on him

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Well... like i said... love the first 2... definitely excellent pictures

Third one definitely could have been great... I like the colours of the bird... And is kinda cute :) But I think overall something went wrong... a little too much camera shake or something haha. Im sure we\ve all been there before.I just got the impression you were looking for comments on all the pictures and nobody mentioned a thing. I figured i should be brutally honest though... I personally prefer it haha
