    The cormorant, grebe and sandhill are my favorites but all are very nice. The grebe and cormorant really stand out. I love the reflection in the grebe photo and the comp in the cormorant. I also like the texture that the pond algae(?) adds to the image as well.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    I think the "pond algae" may be what they call Duckweed.ne_nau.gif

    Thanks, Stephen. :D

    Just being at this place is a pleasure.

    It's a great place that's giving me the practice I've been craving. I'm not a still life or landscape kind of guy...I need some action.
