    These are really great, sharp photos of pretty small looking birds. In checking your EXIF data, you seem to be using a 22 mm lens (f8, 1/640, iso 250). Is that right? I thought in another post you mentioned a 400 mm. And these seem to be telephoto shots for sure. Anyway, I love the detail and coloring, and the sense that you are there with the tiny creature in the big forest.

    There's your mistake! No point looking at my EXIF I'm afraid because it's totally wrong. It also says I took it back in 2010. The data is from the first image I placed on that border in Photoshop. They were definitely taken with my 400m L Series lens. Settings are around the 400 ISO, 1/500th, f6.3.

    I'm glad you like them.

    Thanks for clearing that up. That makes way more sense.

    They are all very nice, MA! I find it very difficult to shoot these kind of small birds. I think a 400mm might help a bit. I also like the catchlights. Did you use a flash for that? or they are just natural light.
