Here are two from John Teece:
This is a great shot of a bird in flight. (I am not sure but it looks like a yellow-billed kite) John has avoided the mistake that many photographers make; that is getting the bird under exposed. This happens because the camera's exposure is influenced by the bright sky and results in the darker bird being recorded as a silhouette.
The way to avoid this is to use the camera's exposure compensation and set it to +1 or so. Problem is though, the bird does not usually hang about for you to fiddle! Comment by Harry Lock.
A tele-photo lens and a wide aperture has ensured the background in this picture is out of focus and does not distract the viewer from the subject. The bird is well placed and the action is there for us to enjoy. Almost as much as this long-crested eagle is enjoying his (or her) meal. - we are a gender sensitive club.

I agree with what Harry said but I do think that both pictures could do with being sharpened. John will have used the default settings when he sent the pictures by e-mail and this has resulted in the pictures being reduced in size and so compressed that they've lost sharpness. The way I would prepare pictures for the blog is to resize copies of the pictures (1000 pixels on the longest side), sharpen and save them. If they needed to be sent by e-mail, I'd tell the e-mail package to send them at their original size, which would not be too large, considering I had resized them already.
