Here a few shots of the local residents I was able to capture during my trip up to San Francisco.

C&C is welcome as I am a noob.

    Beautiful shots! I especially like #1.

    I think #s 8 & 9 are the least interesting.

    Thanks. #1 is definitely my favorite.

    Well done! Great eye! The sea lions are especially nice.

    I also like the first shot. I've taken many photos of sea lions and it's not as easy as one would think to get one that looks good. I also like the first deer shot. It reminds me of Carmel/Big Sur. Overall a pretty nice set that represent the coast well thumb.gif

    Like the third shot best! thumb.gif You might want to tone down the hilights in the first two.

    Nice eye for composition. I like #1 and 2, and the seagul with blurred surfer. Keep at it!

    Very nice series with the sea lions. I don't care for the last two, although the deer taking a drink is a nice idea--the photo just needs more focus on the deer, lighten up the shadows, and omit the tree. The monarch shot is good for showing the sheer number of them, but I was distracted by the motion of the one at the top. I think your captures of the sea lions are clearly the best!
