    flicker is very hard to get close to --nice shots --and are you sure you did not get a tip or too on the bb shot here ne_nau.gifheadscratch.gifmwink.gifrolleyes1.gifthumb.gif

    I really think the art of the BBS has to be 'learned' though experience. Examples, while nice, just aren't quite the same. :lol4

    Thanks Jeff

    The blue jay has such the pose - they are so proud of themselves! Beautiful shot. The colors on the first GBH are just breathtaking...

    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!"

    hi, Thusie! I like seeing the wing display.

    You are brave posting a butt shot!

    Some I like, some I don't. But post them??? Never! (or rarely)

    You got a good one there! The flowers at the bottom add nice colors to the photo, too.

    Thusie, your bird shots are always excellent. I love the wing shot of the flicker...nice to see a different pose. The GBH color is gorgeous. Did you do any PS on the 2nd shot? It looks like it could use some stronger curves. I'd like to see that one converted as well. thumb.gif

    Yes Jays are quite the 'guys'. I'm really quite proud of the GBH shot since I shot that from my side out Don's side car window..Just before he took of because another car was comming. Major miracle that shot happened at alleek7.gif Thanks for the complement!
