Hi Pierre

These images are brilliant, they are all really well composed and capture the viewer's attention well. I really like the processing in these, I like how the 1st image has a bit of a vignette to it, that combined with the fact it's a light coloured bird, really helps draw your eye into the frame.

Out of all of these images I would have to pick the second image as my favourite, I love the subtleties to it. The tones in the image are really nice, and suit black and white well. I think your choice of low down view was a good choice. It has helped to blur both the foreground and background and really accentuate the bird- it makes it a very strong wildlife image. Did you make use of the A350's live view for these? Seems like it would be the perfect candidate for using it?

Lastly I like the use of the 500mm mirror, the bokeh of this lens is quite unusual compared with a standard design lens, and helps give the images a unique look and feel.

Thanks for sharing these images.

Yes, your right. The second picture was took with the Live view of the A350. It help a lots in this kind of case! Lot of people doesn't like the 500mm of sony but as you say, it's an unusual way to give pictures a special view. I also use it for one picture for the black & white contest. Perhaps you can have a look to tell me what you think?

Thanks a lot for all you comments!

Regards,

Pierre
