I got out for a few hours today, took a lot of shots but only two of them turned out.:cry Just one of those days I guess. Anyway, here is what I came up with.


#1 Northern Pintail

    Both are well done with tack sharp focus. I love the flight position you captured with the pintail and the eye of that towhee. Well done.

    My favorite duck also! I LOVE the pintail shot--incredibly sharp focus with spot-on color. The action is so typical. Terrific shots, both of them.

    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!"

    Two wonderful photographs Mark. I don't know about the others, but I can take a bunch of shots and only end up with a few that I really like. So your day would be kinda normal for me.

    Loved the Pintail. thumb.gif
