    Good shots Keith! thumb.gif Like the contrasting cool blue tones on the bird's head and back, and the background, to the warm tones on the branch and the bird's breast in the first image! Really nice!

    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!"
