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!"

    Love the wing positioning in that first image. Great timing. The silhouette is very nice as well. You caught that Cooper's in some good light with an intense stare. The RR looks like it had a rough night. rolleyes1.gif You must have been close to it. Good stuff as usual.

    You did a great job of capturing the beautiful light down there, Harry. But that first crane looks more like a rock star taking a bow.

    I'm glad you enjoyed the captures Ben. The roadrunner was just grooming himself after a hard day.

    Thanks Stephen. We were to close to the RR, I had to back up quietly before I could get it FF.

    I can tell you were away from home just by looking at the colors.

    I like the look of these, Harry.:D

    Hi y'all


    All your shots from Bosque turned out great. I'm right next door an have never been there, I guess I'm spoiled when it comes "none crowded shooting". I must get there though, it looks like a great experience.

    Harry --- The geometry and composition of the landing crane is really striking, and the last photo of the cranes is as fine as a piece of Asian art. --- John

    Nice series Harry. thumb.gifthumb.gif Did you hook up with Louie Champan while you were there? Looks like there were many folks that made the Bosque trip.
