Thrush in our back garden

[chriskey]

I have only had my DLSR a week and have been playing around trying to get shots of the birds in the garden. I know this is maybe off centre as it kept moving but as one of my 1st attempts, what comments would you pass on this pic?

Really nice for only a week with the camera. The image has nice color and looks too be quite sharp. The bird also has a nice catchlight in the eye and good light overall.

Anyway, about the only thing I see that I might do different is have a little more space at the bottom of the image. The tail feathers are just a a bit close to the edge. That's a pretty minor thing though.

Overall, I think it very well done.

Thank you very much...having just looked at some of your pics I will take this as a compliment!!!

Why thank you for the compliment on my photos! I've been at the bird thing for about three years now and just starting to get good shots. I am very lucky to have a friend who lives on the edge of a nature preserve who feeds everybody daily. It makes my birding so much easier.

good shot, agree with Karen, the only thing I see is the wood OOF
May be a high f# DOF could help
Thanks Art

Good Photo, sharp and good exposure.

I like to leave some crop room to help with composition, but you did very well.
