Hi Melvin,

If it's your first time, then I'll say it's a good effort. Most of the pictures were much better than my first time at the bird park (but that was yonks ago).

The third picture from the last is impressive in terms of composition, but could benefit from better sharpness.

Cheers,

handshake is a major thing to improve on for me.
should have increased shutter speed, iso as well as exposure compensation... well, more reasons to go back
thanks Benny

If you include the EXIF data, perhaps its will be more useful for others to comment on improvements.

Did you use a tripod ? any flash ?

Melvin,
What birds are those in #6? Looks like they're wearing pajamas.

Anyway, I think #8 have great potential. Just need to get the focus right and zoom out a bit. Keep it up!
