Well...I look at all the beautiful bird & wildlife shots and am in awe of how you guys can get the detail...particularly while in flight. I've been reading, looking, learning and received wonderful advice. Now - to practice. Here are a few first attempts. Wow...it's hard but thrilling! To add to the excitement I am doing all the PP from an iPad. Your CC appreciated.

    Eia, I like the first one best as well, but I think they are quite respectable. I agree with you that it's hard, but thrilling! Best, Pam

    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!"
