Hold on a minute while I pick up my jaw on the floor...
Was the sky really that pale? It works well to highlight the bird darker color; just like a portrait. Number #2 in particular is wonderful with a stunning amount of details and such intensity. National Geographic worthy.
Just wow is not enough, these are magnificent!!!
Great work.

This is why I call you Mr. Obelix.
You prove it each time you post. I don't know anyone who is better not that its a competition.
But you are in what I would say in the top 2 and I hope you know what number I have given you.
CC is always welcome, the good and the bad. I promise not to take it personal as I know it wasn't meant that way.

Yes it was hazy overcast day, and this is dark bird so sky is totally blown out.
I don't mind the white sky at all in this case as Stef said. It sort of makes it more of a isolated portrait of sorts.... If the sun was out, the lighting would be so much harsher and the dynamic range would be pushed much harder. Therefore, I don't think the bird detail would be as impressive, but who knows....
