Bohemian Waxwings
by dawn

I know this isn't the greatest photo, but it is the first
photo of birds I ever attempted, and only the second time
I've used the 300mm (and I needed that TC I'm about to order).

Canon EOS 20D
1/500s f/4.0 at 300.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Excellent exposure control to get detail in the waxwings against a bright plain background

Dawn I love this and can empathise your eagerness, I was the same when I got my new 300 lens. Lovely birds, I really enjoy seeing birds from other continents,although we have different and beautiful birds in OZ I think there can never be too many birds. Just love them all so much,

Wonderful composition - this image would be ideal for a caption competition ... "Left a bit more ... aim ... fire!"

Looks good to me.. nice exposure and pretty sharp..I think though a bit more contrast is needed.. otherwise a great catch..

I'm impressed. Are you sure these guys aren't trapped in your scanner??? (LOL)
Very nicely done!

I always have difficulty when shooting against a sky like that so well done.
