Challenge: Birds II (Advanced Editing VII) Collection: Wildlife Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT Lens: Sigma 170-500mm f/5-6.3 APO Aspherical for Canon Date: Jan 23, 2008 Aperture: F/5.6 ISO: 200 Galleries: Nature, Animals Date Uploaded: Jan 27, 2008 Add photograph to your favorites Add photographer to your favorites	This was really hard for me to decide which one to use for this challenge. Here's one of the outtakes. Not really any action or anything to this photo but I really liked the birds expression and I thought it worked well in black and white. Also, the sharpness of this one really bumped it up a notch for me. About all the cold weather lately... yes it was cold when I took this, about -5 degrees F.

The bird in this photo is wild and free to fly wherever it wants. Thanks for the encouraging comment!

Lovely. Sharp, good DOF. I like the framing that the top branch provides over his head. I'm not convinced the b&w conversion or the centered composition really work, but overall, it's nice.

Beautiful black and white. Great textures and nice DOF. This would have been a terrific candidate for a thirds crop, IMHO.

One of my faves of the challenge. Love the centered comp. B&W tones work well. Bumping up to 9.
