Irish Meadowlark?

[Bob Blanchard]

I just laughed when I saw this one, because he seemed to be doing the bird version of an Irish step-dance :D

Canon 1DsMII, EF 600mm f/4, ISO 640, 1/4000, f/5, cloudy conditions, handheld.

Hi Bob. Very interesting pose you have photographed! I like the detail on the wing and "talons" especially. Eye nice and sharp and the composition works for me.

This one works for me, too. The composition works and it's good on all the techs. I especially like the pose......showing the foot with the talons makes it even more interesting. Well done.

I loved this .. the pose .. wonderful wow ! the shapness and the BG are very good .. but one thing that really impressed me is showing the bird's behaviour .. made this image different from others .. it seems that you have a very sturdy hands.. thank you!

Doesn't matter what it's doing, this is a fine image. Good comp and exposure and well captured.

Hi Bob,

I like the pose and bg in this image alot. It just seemed a little on the dark side to me. I downloaded it, selected just the bird and perch, brigtened up the bird and perch a little using levels and the SH tool, and reposted it.
