I took these near Alice Springs collecting nesting material.

Hmmmm, I dunno what happened here the images are not much more than thumbnails.

When you click on them, they come up beautifully!

Terrific shots. I love the composition, the focus on the eye and color. The light in #1 is especially effective.

If these were mine, and I wish they were, I couldn't resist cloning out the line at the top of #2, and the material in the top rh corner.

d810 delivers the goods image quality wise, good behavior in first that works despite the harsh light. 2nd looks a little funky somehow around the belly, was it perhaps a tad dark and boosted? hints of noise there, perhaps the iso 2800 also? great details in the face too
