Welcome to a great place to learn. You will find many tutorials on the site that will help you.

It would be helpful if you put the camera settings underneath the picture - these are stored inside the image as EXIF data (most imaging programs will give you access to EXIF data).

Looking at the 2 pictures you have posted - I would guess the top one was taken with a wider apeture as the bird on right is out of focus - demonstrating a shallow 'Depth of Field' (DoF)

In the lower picture all the birds are in focus so the DoF in covering a greater range.

Experiment with different camera settings for a given subject - then review your photos to see what has happened. Try down loading Faststone this keeps the EXIF data visible as you scroll thro' photos. It's a wonderful FREE image viewer with many functions.

Above all ENJOY you new found hobby

Thanks for the tips! I actually went back to my Flickr page where I originally posted the images and grabbed some EXIF info from there.
