    hi glenn,

    I like 4, the b&w certainly suits that shot and i like that the head is nicely in focus and the wings are a bit blurred. top shot.

    7 - i like the large contrast of this shot.

    cheers,
    steve

    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!"

    What great use of light and shadows; love the peregrine and merlin as well. I don't know how you achieved that background in the stilt but it makes for an outstanding picture! thumb.gif

    I wish I had the time to shoot more as well. I hope you are working on some killer video game or something; not that I have the time for anything like that you know. mwink.gif

    Thanks Stephen, I shot the Stilt photo with the very last light as the sun was setting. He was backlit, and had moved into the shadows so only the ripples reflected the sunset. Used flash to bring out the subject.

    The game I'm working on should be fun, but it is alot of work in the meantime!

    Great set, Glenn. Try to remember that 'work' is a 4-letter word and is highly overrated.

    Thanks Ric! Hopefully things will slow down a bit so I can shoot more.(But not too much so I can't afford any more gear)

    Really like that Downy Woodpecker photo you posted in Wally's "Best of the year" post.
