Nice set!!
I find it difficult capturing scenes like these in my environment. Bird's are easily scared...
In spite of 450mm + 1.4 tc I can't get close enough....Time for more camouflage and more patience... ;)

"Is Photography becoming too easy?" Not if you're doing it right.
Photography has always been easy, but the results are getting much better as cameras improve. People like to say that it's the person behind the camera who makes the picture. Try that with a 1955 Kodak box camera. Most of us here have modern cameras that are magical compared with what was available when we were kids. Tell someone that you just bought a camera without an actual shutter (Z8), and they'll think you're crazy.
I remember when auto focus came around. We were traveling, and I told my wife about a crazy dream I had. I dreamt about an ad for a camera that focused by itself. It shot out a beam that bounced off the subject. It then figured how long it took the beam to leave the camera, hit the subject, and return to the camera. With that information, it computed the distance and adjusted the focus. What a crazy dream! Then my wife told me that I was talking about an actual ad on TV just before I fell asleep.
Imagine describing that process to someone in the 1950s.

I am just curious. You said "untouched," and yet each of the five has a different pixel size. So, they were at least cropped. Right? --Richard
YES , I guess they were cropped heavily. Impossible to get that close to wildlife. Handheld. Spitting hairs?

Why does it need to be complicated? Art is Art. Years ago art was created in caves under vary casual means, now it has become claimed by National Geographic and other well known organizations.

Beautiful pictures, technology be damned.
I'm too old to go out yonder; you all can take the pics, and I will just enjoy them.
