    Hey Ben/Jeff,

    Another example of why you need some long glass when shooting wildlife. :D Seriously you did an excellent job of exposure on a black & white subject. thumb.gif

    For the future when I see raptor in the header I expect to see some raptors not some stinking skunk.:pissed

    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!"

    I had a real raptor baby, actually starting to look like a bird of sorts. It was a bit grainy, I guess, got no play.

    I think the skunk is good. Only ones I have seen have been dead in a road.

    skunks can be good. guess we need to have "truth in advertising" here too.

    just to be ornery, I will dig up a heron and say "heron" in the subject.

    ginger (It will be a fresh one, not a repeat. However, I can't say that it has not been done ad nauseum................by me, too.)
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.
