Show your Bird Portraits

Great analogy Lion. I have a 5d MK II, 50D 70-200 non IS - 300 4.0 IS - 100 macro - 24-105 - 17-35 - 50 1.4 and 1.8 and a closet of bowens, and quantum speed lights and studio strobes, and bags of other photo equipment. For many years I had way more gear than I had artistic ability. It seems as I get rid of excess gear I'm becoming a better photographer. I have just recently started shooting birds. Most of my experience is in pro and high school sports, weddings, animals, insects, over the last 45 years

What do you think about this one ?

This is an Sturnus vulgaris. I have seen this one at Warschauer Straße, Berlin - Germany. A lot of this Birds were searching for food in the trash nearby the S-Bahn station

Mistkäfer, that's a very nice shot of a less than glamorous model.

Reminds me of our imported starlings, although they tend towards black. Keep posting.

Great shot, Mistkäfer!

Starlings up close, or the young ones, look anything but impressive, but when you hear them sing, or when the sun shines on them: Pure magic.

Gorgeous shot, Mike. I have only ever seen one, it suddenly flushed in a snowy field, and didn't get a keeper
