    The grouse is great
    but I kind of have to like the bunny in afterburner mode! They are very difficult to catch, and I love the raised paw and the angle of the body. Personally, I might crop it a little more, but this is how you see them, lots of landscape, little bunny. clap.gif

    Great capture on the bunny.
    I know how fast they can move and it's really hard to get it that sharp thumb.gif

    The last one is very nice. I love the green background.

    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!"

    15524779-Ti.gif with Harry Ben. Plus you lose another point for agreeing that the last pic is a grouse. It's a fantastic (as in one of your best thumb.gifthumb.gif ) shot of a California Valley Quail. The ID shot looks very similar to yours, although not as good :D



    Hey, did I mention that last shot is killah? clap.gifclap.gif

    Hi Dee, did your get chance to see the Fire/Rescue truck ?
    I tried a tight crop on the bunny, but seem to lose it's feeling, I'll try again though
    Thank you for the input, always appreciated.

    Hey Steve
    Yeah I dig that shot, he actually stayed around enough for me to get several shots, but I think this one worked best.
    Oh and thank you for the link.
    Between you and Harry I won't have any points left soon :cry :D
