Oh! This is not cropped! Not modified! Straight out of camera RAW converted to jpg in DPP. Then resized in XnView. I could enter it into a NatGeo competition! Do they do one for birds without feet? I mean it is a unique category! I have a few for birds without heads too if they do that
LOL
BIF=birds in flight
BWF=birds without feet ;D
Two years ago while on vacation in Nice,France we went to a small family run restaurant in the old town. The featured special was "Alouettes sans tete". We didn't speak French so we asked the waiter (who spoke some English) what was the translation. He hunted for the right phrase and finally said "little bird without head". We ordered it and it was good. It is really stuffed beef rolls.

hi,
Following since a very long time this forum and this topic, I post today some of my bird photos taken this week, early morning.
All shots with a 5d mark 3, and sigma 120-300 f2.8 DG OS HSM (the one just before the S version).
Sorry for the huge number of photos. .
but what do you think ?

Here is another one from me.
Black Swan Reflection by Idiot4Hire, on Flickr
Once again it was with my 7D and ef-s 55-250mm lens.

Cookie28...nice owl shot, he looks sleepy
A few from today.
Now, whenever he is anywhere near and I approach the canal, my heron fishing friend insists we go fishing. Another half loaf of bread wasted with no results (he is so inept at this). Then, a new stranger swoops in but he is very timid of me and quickly takes off every time I approach or even throw some bread his way. He keeps coming back to check us out and this gets my friend very defensive. He puffs himself up by ruffling his feathers and stares down the newcomer. After chasing each other around, the newcomer finally takes off for good and I get my first half decent, almost in focus BIF photo (1 shot out of 20 tries as they chased each other around the canal). All the others were either blurry blobs or the bird was not even in the frame
I need tons more practice.
-edit-
If you look closely, you can see my silhouette reflected in heron's eye in the first shot.

Here is a crop of the bird's eye with my silhouette reflection. You can see the chain link fence and me at the top of the embankment. I had the better beamer on a 580EXII and you can almost see that as the square shadow on top of the camera. The sun was almost directly behind me.
