Hello All,

I'm a new member. I very much look forward to interacting and sharing my photographs with you. Birds remain my favorite subjects to photograph and whenever possible, I prefer portrait style captures. I use my collection of superzoom cameras to do so. All images were taken in the wild, hand-held and have not been cropped. I hope you'll enjoy these beautiful birds, which I call "living works of art!"

Your images are great.
I'm an absolute novice so don't judge me too hard, plus I was there for big cats more than birds so I didn't get as many images of them as I would of hoped.
