Beautiful beautiful stuff man. I love the variety of the shots. Big inspiration for me man! I really learnt so much from you. Is all about the approach actually. Very inspiring. By the way if you had a bird with longer legs i believe the shade would work better. Also question : when you take a widw shot of a bird does it really matters if is completely sharp? I mean in my mind your shot counts as far as you croped your final picture. I mean if you need to digitally zoom to see the sharpness for me is with out sense because your picture is what you have in your frame as you see it. I wonder if that counts differently in contest.. 🤔 Anyway.. Food for thoughts..
Thanks so much for the feedback and I'm glad you are learning from me, that's always so great to hear! I'm with you on the sharpness thing but sometimes if you can see it's soft in the full view without zooming in then it's too much of a miss for me personally. If you have to zoom in to tell it's soft then it might get by.
The Whimbrel with the splash is a fabulous shot,Ray!!.👍🏼
Thanks so much, glad you like that one!
Cool ideas and techniques Ray!! Love the creativity..
Thanks so much, thanks for the comment!

FYI, the sick/wounded bird you showed, wasn't a Black Guillemot, but a Common Murre.
Ah yes, thanks for the clarification, I should have known that. Thanks for watching as well!
