hello friends, since the end of may i am
decided it is time to upgrade to a DSLR,
since the end of may i am reading and reading
reviews on entry level DSLRs, i am reading and
reading photo rumours, i knewed that Pentax
will announce yesterday a new entry level DSLR

i was hoping and wishing that will be
waterproofed like was the Pentax K200D,
oh my DISAPPOINTMENT WAS BIG
yesterday morning when i read that
the new Pentax K-x it is not waterproofed

but i am loving it and i think now it is
definitive from now to early february 2010
it will be my very first DSLR camera

i would love that the Pentax K-x would be waterproofed
but i found this that i can use it in snow or rainy days

Hi Asbed. Good luck with the new camera. This is a fine close up of the dove taking of . I like the way you have captured the feet and wings. Taken with good detail. Your use of the sun light has given warm colours. well done TFS.

Hello Asbed,

You have done well to capture the dove so clearly whilst in take-off mode.
I love the lifting of the feet, a bit like the wheels on an aeroplane, and the wings curled backwards.
A crop from either left or right would take the bird from such a central position.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
Good luck with the new camera!

Hi Asbed,

You captured this Mourning Dove in a beautiful take-off position. The colors are so warm and natural. Excellent details of the face and wings. I love the centered composition and the winter setting.

Love the blue in the wings Asbed. It's an unusual shot of a dove. I like the soft lighting in the picture. I see it's brown feathers going well with the branches. Nice all-round capture. TFS Trevor

Buen enfoque al motivo y excelente enfoque del ave: preciosa !
Saludos y buen fin de semana Asbed: Josep Ignasi.

Hi Asbed,

Very interesting picture. A very nice catch.
Excellent color with good contrast.
Have a good evening,
Adrian

Bonjour Asbed,

Les branches cadrent bien l'oiseau. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs de la tourterelle triste au décollage. L'image est claire et nette. L'utilisation du flash et la lumière ambiente donne un bon rendu aux couleurs. Bonne journée.
