    Re: Starlings & Berries

    Oh Nat, they're both so close to great shots. But the second Starling in #1 (presenting its rear) spoils it - you might be able to crop it out and expand the canvas to give prominence to the bird with the berry in its beak.

    In #2 the birds are so busy feeding that I don't get a spark of engagement. But IMHO it's the better shot (as presented)

      A bird that doesn't get the glory it deserves. Shame about the first, agree with Russell, crop out the other bird and lose the noise and it would be a belter.

        Thanks Russell and Patrick. Yes, I did think of cropping out the other bird in first picture and will do so. As for noise, I don't see much of it as I did not exceed ISO 800. I will anyway take another look.

              Well done Nat, agree with the others about a crop on No 1
