    Stunning as usual! That Great Egret's legs look just like the reeds growing in the water. Nice lighting, especially on the duck and hawk, and great job on all exposures. 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!"

    Great control of the whites on the great egret...love the textures in that one too. The in-flight pose of the red-tailed hawk is gorgeous, sweet light. Love the neck and wing extension of the duck plus the nicely blurred background. thumb.gif

    2 and 3 are off the charts. Beautiful sharp wing spreads.

    Another great shots! I also downloaded it and used it as my desktop background image. You took pictures professionally and that's good! Keep it up!
