Hi Maggie, I like the way the bird is framed by the tree in this excellent shot :toast: :toast:

Sorry Maggie, doesn't really do anything for me.

I find the tree too dominant and obscures the Starling to much, as IMHO the Starling is the main subject & it's action.

Sorry Maggie doesn't really work for me either, however impressed with lack of noise for d300 at iso 1000, how did you control it so well on mine it is crap above 800 - nice one for making the effort though :toast: :toast:

Hi maggie, this image has a lot of potential , if you can get some more shots at a different angles to get more of the bird in. keep working at it.. it will definately pay off. Noise is well controlled for ISO 1000 on a D300 :smile:
