    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!"

    The Egret shot is a ruddy cracker! Great shot thumb.gif

    Like the tilted lens on the little guy too as it gives a cool perspective and gives the shot more interest.

    Ben, I love the third shot, the "kinda landscape". It is my favorite of all the shots you have ever done, I think.

    (My story of today begs telling..............but I don't know where. I climbed almost to the top of a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong bridge, with no water. Just got home, have photos, somewhere, but don't know when they will be "done". The snowy egret, one appeared, I was shooting a BIF, realized that it was a snowy, I was excited about that. My camera shows that he was overexposed. I had my EC at normal for other bifs, and only the snowy was overexposed. I will process them anyway if they are not OOF, am tired of this snowy problem.

    Also had a very good cop bring me some water, was a very nice cop.)

    I really do love that shot, and the others, too.
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    I really like the "kinda landscape" pic Ben. thumb.gif

    I would maybe have changed the aspect a tiny bit so that less of the bush on the right was in the pic. The pic also feels as if it's sloping down to the left.

    Carry on clicking - looks like you're getting the hang of the new camera mwink.gif
