Love the way the eye is so visible! I rarely see swans, but when I do I just can't seem to get the eye to show! Tips?

Oops, forgot to include these 2 images...there's always 1 gosling who seems to be on the look-out, and catching a nap in the sunshine. I've learned patience, keeping a respectful distance & that light is so important. I've tried shooting on more dreary days but the results are dreary too. I want to get the catch-light in the eyes whenever I can, and see the light bouncing and highlighting fine feathers.

By observing common birds in our region, I've come to appreciate their beauty even more. This seagull in flight reminded me of the book, 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull'. I love how the light emphasizes the feathers.

Fantastic experience!

There's always learning to be done and that's what makes life interesting! Good choice of image & explanation!

Great story!

I know the frustrations of insufficient zoom capabilities, but it's still an interesting shot!

'zen' time, preening & swimming with others for safety.

Watching the Canada Geese goslings in their daily activities gave me a more in-depth view of their practices, and infused me with appreciation, wonder & joy! This species is often maligned because their numbers have exploded and their droppings in the park are a 'nuisance', but that is due to the feeding practices of well-meaning humans. We need to let them forage for themselves!

Love all 3 of your images, but the chickadee is probably my favourite-feather detail & bright eyed expression are top notch!

Lovely shots with such clarity in the eyes!

Beautiful shot! The bird commands the viewer's attention, which is the purpose of bird photography!

Great catch light in eagle's eye and the detail in the feathers! Perhaps cropping or turning your camera to portrait instead of landscape, would give even more attention to this awesome bird.

Love the silhouette effect in your grackle image!

<i>In this shot, I used the rule of thirds but also thought that shooting the Chipping Sparrow from behind with its head slightly turned, made it more interesting. made it alittle mor</i>

In this image, I chose to almost fill the frame with the duck. I was standing on a small bridge, looking down on the bird. The surrounding water is blurred. I like this shot as it gives a very different perspective and also allowed me to focus on the feather pattern.
