Building a nest

[Krijn Trimbos]

For now this will be the last image I'll show you from Ireland. This was one I was really going for after seeing some of the birds flying in with nest material. A headshot with the parent really showing off its nest material. I went for the high ISO here to get the highest chance of a very sharp image with good DOF.

C & C are most welcome,

Canon EOS 50D 1/1250 f9

I hope he knows what to do with the tangled mess he's got for himself. Excellent exposure Krijn, and I like the colours captured on him. I also like the hint of clouds in the BG. Well captured.

[Chris Kotze]

Beautiful colours. Well exposed, sharp and great detail.

[DeanNewman]

I love the HA. You nailed exposure. Great image.

[Jasper Doest]

Splendid shot my friend...I love the shadow of the nest material on the chest of the bird as it adds a lot of depth to this photograph. A heroic looking bird.

[Danny Laredo]

Wonderful colors and exposure. The amount of detail you got is super.

[Keith Bauer]

Great portrait. The soft background with the clouds works great. The whites look great on the bird. Nice image.
