    I love them, Jeff.

    Wish my birds were on clear water, for the feeding shots. I have photos of them putting their beaks in, very carefully (remember mine is green algae). No splashing, nothing cool like that. I have not actually seen food there, either.

    I do have a lot of grape type things hanging around.

    I love your captures.................both of the bird and the coyote. Don't have those either. Have captive wolves, literally. I am sure there are deer here, but I would be awefully lucky to see one (I know you didn't show a deer, just thinking of how I was looking for one to show up when I was leaving Magnolia Sunday) Also, no bears, remembering another thread.

    My osprey fish a good distance from their nest, and me.

    That about takes care of my list, other than a "size doesn't matter?" lens. But it is the bokeh?

    I love your shots, don't pay attention to my patter.

    Jeff, just for interest, why don't you put up a shot brought down by RGB and one the other way.

    thanks labs!

    the rumor is only partially true...i could post some pics of both the old guys for a flat fee of nothing (especially for someone who loves labsthumb.gif). the question is, where do you want them? i could put them here, in the candids section, or i could PM them to you so you could "process them mwink.gif" (clown suits, drag getup...i'll leave it to youyelrotflmao.gif)

    If you put them in candids, please post that here, so I know to look for them.

    Don't PM them, I want to see the people, too.

    If you put a bird with them, you could put them here?

    Add feathers..........

    Michiel,

    thanks for stopping by and for the kind comments. these egret shots have been a challenge for me with the exposure and then the timing as well as composition. after tossing out hundreds of pics i feel lucky to have a few come outthumb.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!"
