I have given myself a challenge this year, I want to practice shooting birds. It’s something outside of my comfort level as a photographer and I know if will make me technically better.
Last week I had chance to visit a sculpture garden in Grand Rapids Michigan. Of course as I stepped into the gardens the sculptures became the side dish as my focus was distracted by the hundreds of birds. I was particularly drawn to the wild canaries in the tropical garden. I have taken photos of my sisters pet canary and it has alway surprised me how something with tiny eyes and no lips can be so expressive….

Great Photos!
Great job – lovely pictures!
wow! great colours!
I would say you did a terrific job altogether. The shots are crystal clear with great short depth of field. You should be proud of yourself.
Thanks – the hardest part for me is getting really good focus. These guys were not too concerned about my presence so they were pretty decent models for me:)
Gorgeous photos, great challenge!
Lovely shots ! Truly amazing! =)
