another great shot ... this is excellent with great details of wings and white fethers ... which generally get lost in digital photography ... very natural and brilliantly captured ... hope you will share with the nesting birds in coming months .... would be very interesting ...

Dont worry Lily, Its the thought that counts, I dont even really rate too many friends images anymore as Like you it dosent do much or bumps them down, I cant figure it out, only that there is a post and thread about the rating system in the forums that I can figure out either....
Thanks again....

How come my 7 did not bump up the score? I'm getting frustrated by the rating system and how it modifies the ratings that we give out.

Marcus Armani Marcus Armani   {K:36599} 3/25/2005
Thanks Steve, The 2000 shutter speed is pretty normal for a really bright day, sometimes I have to actually lower the ISO and bump the app to keep it between 1000 and 2500 where I want to be, There have been times I wasn't paying attention and shooting a white bird with the sun shinning on It, looked and I was at 3500.. The sharp eye is a product of a full picture PS sharpening at around 50-1.4-1 with USM, I dont do selective sharpening....
Thanks again.

Steve Tomkinson   {K:3243} 3/24/2005
It amazes me that you can get 1/2000 @ F8 at only ISO400. You must have great light. I love the fact you got the eye in focus (albeit a little sharpened, am I right?), the feathers are just gorgeous. When you see the sizes of their nests & the effort involved to find just one twig, it makes you wonder where they get the energy from. Driven by higher urges, I suppose!
