    Looks like you had pretty harsh light for this one. Starlings certainly aren't "darling" birds but they are beautiful when the light hits them just right. Wonderful tail spread but just too many surrounding branches. You need to set up some feeders to get them out in the open.......and at a lower angle.

    I love the fanned tail feathers if it was possible to move over alittle to your right it might of helped take away some of the distracting oof branch in the foreground. You still handled the exposure quite nicely with the starling.

    Hi Eddy Agree with Lana on this one !!! You need to pick when to shoot This was shot down before you pressed the shutter

    Need to get the bird lower, with a cleaner bg and better light !!! btw these are very difficult There is a fine balance with light Not enough and the feathers don't glow too much and its toast !!!!
