Magpie Portrait

Really struggling at the moment and was forced to resort to a shot of father magpie as he waited on the kitchen window sill for an afternoon snack.
No crop

Super capture Terry, great detail and love the catch light in his eye, he must have been sat at the end of your 300mm lens, lol:)

Great close up Terry!

[Rachel]

A fab shot, so clear and detailed. How about I provide some boats this weekend for you to shoot?

[Shirley Banford]

Great shot.

[Poppo Livy]

@888rachel Great. Go for it. I'm assuming your boys sail?
The magpie shot was once again the Tamron lens at 300mm hand held. The vibration control on that lens is amazing

[Rachel]

@terryliv Yes, they sail on Saturday but not on Sunday this week. There are plenty of other boats there though...

[Rick Schies]

And you found his good side

[Tony]

Perfect capture and not a feather out of place.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

Excellent focus on this handsome guy. Here you are apologizing for being forced to take this bird's picture as something to post on 365 and I'm thinking You lucky guy, having the opportunity to take such an amazing up-close picture of a bird like this. What may seem boring to you is not in the least to the rest of us!

[Kristina Olsen]
