    Welcome to Dgrin Julee. wave.gif

    Excellent images, well exposed, great color, and good comps. A lower angle would have been nice on the birds but probably not possible.

    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!"

    Thank you. I agree that a lower angle would have made a nice difference...

    That lizard is fantastic. The flamingos, as has been said, would have been better with a lower angle, but probably not possible. The first one is a bit hot too, but the second one is very nice. Looking forward to more from you. Welcome!

    Welcome Julee! I like the iguana shot. I have seen quite a few, but he has a look all his own. I can't put my finger on why. Maybe its his smile. :D

    Good stuff here the last shot was my favorite! A bit of advice that I have found that helps me when shooting wildlife is....Always try to shoot up at the subject and never down at them. I know you can't always do that but it really helps set off the subject and helps it stand out.

    Keep shooting and remember to have fun...=)
