    Fantastic set once again. Love the fine detail with those duck and a nice shot of the red shouldered hawk showing off its legs. But the real winner to me here is the hummingbird. Great pose, detail and I love the closed eye.

    Nice set of images. Great detail in all of them. I also like the hummingbird. The snowy is nice too the way the body nearly disappears into the background focuses attention on the head. Neat effect thumb.gif

    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!"

    Awesome collection Glenn! clap.gif

    Especially the rare "Poodle Duck" The Bufflehead in flight was my favorite, followed closely by the hawk. Thank you for sharing these.
