Killdeer

[Paul Merritt]

Taken back in early October, before all the snow came and all the birds left.:( I can't wait for spring.

Canon 20D Av Mode ISO 100 1/500 sec f/5.6 w/400

[Fabs Forns]

Wow, great action! Wish you had a better light angle.

[John Cooper]

Hi Paul - you've captured the action here!! King sized worms over there!!
I like the side-lighting giving some modelling to the bird - a feature that is often lacking in many bird photographs.
A smaller aperature to get greater DOF on the subject would further enhance this image for me.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Great action and that worm makes it really funny, too. :) I would have gone to ISO 200 and f/8 for wider DOF. The whites look a bit overexposed on my monitor.

[Doug Brown]

Love that worm! And I agree with Axel's comment about increasing the DOF.

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Great capture For you both Paul and I agree about the light but stll a great captured moment !!

[Paul Merritt]

Thanks all for the comments and especially the criticisms. Much appreciated and much needed.
