    What a great day you had!!! Such a variety. I have to say I have a thing for pelicans. Too bad it's not a nicer background on that one, because I really like the lovely angle you have on his glide. The others are all great....no complaints here! clap.gifclap.gif

    Nice
    I like the Hummer, thats a tough shot against a blue sky, did you use fill flash on that one.
    Looking for the weekend, see my images at the location below, please leave a comment if you like what you see, I would love to hear from you.:):

    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!"

    Outstanding series Russ. Where was I? I love the two ducks best, but all were very good. And I said it would be a bad day; my advice to you is never pay attention to what I say.......clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

    Thanks Thusie,
    I'm definitely having a wonderful time getting these shots. And even when the getting is slim it's nice to be outdoors anyway.

    Thanks Saurora,
    I agree, the background in the Pelican shot could've been a little less distracting. It could definitely benefit from some some selective blurring in PS. thanks

    Thanks Froggy,
    I love humming birds...and I think lately they're starting to warm up to me too. A little later I'll be posting one that I captured this morning.
    BTW I did use fill flash for this shot, thanks for asking.

    Thanks William,
    I looked and looked but couldn't find any eagles, so I figured these would have to do :D. Glad you like them.
