    Those two ducks are great. Great exposure, perfect depth of field, super sharp, really nice!

    3 and 4 just tug at the ole heartstrings :D These are fantastic, such clarity. I do like the one of the flying heron as well, but the ducks ... well I'm a sucker for ducks.

    "well I'm a sucker for ducks" also, they're cute as youngsters and entertaining as they grow older. Hmmm, I guess that applies to us humans too :D Thanks Raian

    I seem to have gotten a lot of compliments on this one although it was a last minute pick during posting. I guess it does have some WOW in it.

    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!"
