I decided to have another shot at those water hen chicks this afternoon, I didn’t do too well with them, but I did manage to get some great shots of ducks, geese and even a pelican. The photos were taken with my D300 using my Tamron 70-300mm lens.

C&C is much appreciated.

I snapped this Ibis in flight, sorry the wings are blown out!


This Pelican flew in and started fishing the pond, here it is trying to keep a low profile but all the other birds were keeping well clear


One of the resident Geese!


I finally got one of those Ducks flapping!!

That looks like the renzo piano building in the background of the 1st - were you shooting in the botanical gardens?

#1 - maybe straighten the background? the ibis may look better with some chin up...
#3 feels like the goose is about to hit it's head on the top of the photo! Do you have any more photo left up there?
#4 very nice. you have got the motion perfectly.

I'm getting no images!?

They are still showing up for me, can you retry and let me know?

When I right CLick and "ViewImage", I get:

www.scout-images.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again.

That is really strange, Mitchell could see the images and the site is up when I checked yesterday and today now.

The images show for me. I suspect the host name isn't in all the DNS.

1) I like the composition and the background but would like to see the ibis' head sharper and with more detail. I realise that will be difficult without blowing the wings further, but I feel that's what lets the image down.

2) I'd like to see the pelican a little closer, and maybe lower in the frame.

3) I'd like to see a bit more room around the goose.

4) I'd like to see the duck more from the front. The head looks a little soft, too, but that may just be my old eyes.

Thanks for the comments Andrew, glad that you can see the images. I'll make sure I look at fixing these issues before I print them (if I get around to printing)
