    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!"

    Evening, Ben. Some nice pics you shared with us all. Thanks. I'm leaning towards the BIF...but that's just me. thumb.gif


    I'm glad to see all wings and feet in that shot. Well done. clap.gif

    Where is that other machine gunner? I've not seen much of him lately. Did he get his TC caught in traffic??

    My vote is for the rusty pipe. Nice use of the ROT and using DOF to set off the bird and pipe. It works for me. thumb.gif

    Well, the sun is shining for the moment...............and I have dr appt. Should get out around high noon.

    And I can just see the sweet light in your bird photos, Ben! They are wonderful as are your sea shots. I assume they do not live near each other?

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    The seal had a little help from the flash, but I did wait till late afternoon light. Yes they all do live fairly close to each other :D
