It's good like that rather than cropping to a portrait. Opportunistic shots are fun.While on a walk this weekend, more of an environmental portrait. He was sitting on the corral watching over the cows...

ISv saw your post of the feral cat on Ohau. On Maui on the northeast part of the isthmus between east and west Maui there is a public park maybe a mile or so from Kahului airport Kanaha beach park where the feral cats reign supreme. At mid day there were at least three hundred visible from a parking lot. I got there because it backs up to a conservation area that I hoped had birds, It was impassable.
One lady brought a twenty pound bag of dry food and was popular for about fifteen minutes.
Be a great place to safari cats of the escaped domestic variety, it is not a high rent park though. Poor native Hawaiian birds don’t stand a chance.
Oh wow, that's an amazing set of pictures!Post your Bird Portraits here
Parrots, Birds of Prey, Herons and all the others ... Just post your portraits here
The main idea of this topic is that the bird is clearly the main part component of the picture and that it is not a bird in flight or small bird on large tree or group shot ...
I will start with some of mine to start the whole
Have fun everyone and I hope to see many amazing shots soon:

I've thought of doing that but it would be humbling/embarrassing to see my early contributions ... not claiming more recent ones are that much better.
Seriously, assuming there has been improvement sometimes it's good to reflect on how one has been able to move in the right direction. Once I received a complement from jrista, suggesting my compositions had greatly improved and it really spurred me on to trying to improve even more. And of course we all have click cheering us on!![]()
They do appear to be captive, and that is confirmed on the FlickR page, but the heron in Regents Park may be wild. But, they started off a great thread, the best on CR, along with BIF. Captive bird shots are disapproved of by many, but if someone takes a good shot, why not post it here if it's a good one.Captive birds in OP?
