Excellent suggestion, Doyle. I knew the crop/composition was off but did not get the feel on this one as to how to fix.
(And yes... the other shot has hot spots).
Thanks!!!!!!

Better shot with MUCH better exposure. I would pull up that lower crop to take advantage of the strong diagonal line provided so naturally for you by this guy! :)

Thanks, AJ. It does seem a challenging way to take pictures; lots of patience, luck and a good piece of telephoto glass makes a big difference.
My 300 mm is low end and quite soft at the 300 mm side; but for beginner efforts I will stick with it. USEFILM is a great forum to get encouragement, ides, and help.

Thanks, Srna. If the birds would just hold still and strike a pose it would be much easier.

Definitely prefer this one for the various reasons already mentioned. And like you, UF has encouraged me to photograph subjects I would not otherwise have considered, and discovered wonderful things about them in the process.

I agree, Lydia, and thanks for the comment. The other one has some hot spots. Although I used a 300mm I was not as close as I would like to have been and had to crop the pictures more than I would have liked. I have very little in the way of telephoto hardware and 300 mm was the best I could come up with. No stabiliser and not very good "glass". But enough to get me started.
It is amazing how skittish these creatures are and I was lucky on a couple of shots.
--Best to you, Jan

Well, keep them coming, Jan - I prefer this one to the other First Attempt, simply because there are no over-exposed spots on this one. What a magnificant bird! How lucky you are to have come close enough for the 300mm lens - the birds in South Africa are much too suspicious to trust me and my camera!

Great shot, especially for your first. I too have been inspired from Joe's work and now I have a second inspiration. Dave

Thanks Marian! I never noticed the beautiful detail on these fellows before today. The tail and back pattern is amazing.
