  What can I say - you are master of bird shots, Janine! The 400mm f4 canon lens is a beauty, particularly as it is IS!!

  It find it interesting that you chose ISO 1600. It must have been a very cloudy day in Washington. Anyway, either your camera handles noise extremely well or your processing is outstanding. In any cae, this is a magnificent capture.

  Great shot Janine! I really have a new appreciation for these bird shots of yours. I tried to take some the other day and the little guys move so fast none of my pics are suitable to post!

  Another beauty, Janine! Just superb detail and vivid color. I love the way the bird stands out against the soft, muted background! Well done!

  Ron, Paul, Anna, SuSana, Evy, MH, Harmeet, Richard (I chose ISO 1600 because it was a dark and cloudy afternoon, getting late in the day and I had a 2x TC attached to the lens [which means I loose 2 stops of light]), Dominick, Raymond, Rakesh, Renee, Ronald, Agnes, John, Joy, Anne, Chastity, Datha, Debby, Marta and Brian, thanks very much for all of your kind and encouraging comments.

  Janine, I haven't checked out your site in a while and had forgotten how I love to peruse your gallery. Your birds are SO wonderful... I try so hard to capture the birds outside in my yard, but yours are so much more awesome!!!! I love the level of sharpness in them and also amazed at the clarity for ISO of 1600!!! Keep setting the standard... I'll keep reaching for it!
