    That is cool, Jeff!

    I know I always say that, but it is!

    I think we should have an "up close" thread.

    ginger (birdman can put his Ospreys in it!) Smile.

    No, I know how to do scenics very well, but I am a story teller, for the most part. I would like to know how to do up close, too!

    Also, maybe a thread of everything listed as "NOT TO POST" by Harry. Between all of us, we must have photos of cuties, rats, gulls, etc.

    (what is wrong with gulls?)
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    This a a very neat picture with a great background. Good work.

    It's not always easy to come close enough to get a nice detailled headshot.

    Dick.

    Here is on of mine (a bit further away)

    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!"

    Nice capture Jeff.

    Where is your buddy Dallas, Jeff? ne_nau.gifheadscratch.gif Have not seen him n weeks. Hope he's O.K.

    Dick....pretty nice capture, yourself, but I would have done some PS work on those reflections under the beak. They are a bit distracting.

    Cheers

    The exposure looks good, but I wish it was looking at the camera instead of away from it.
