    Very nice series Steve, well done thumb.gif

    I think the pics lacking some "pep". Playing with contrast might benefit this series.

    Thanks for sharing.

    That's a pretty duck. Maybe a Mandarin Duck?

    I agree with Dick. Nice series . Some contrast bump or adjustment of the levels will really make them stand out. good shooting.thumb.gif

    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!"

    They are the bane of my motorcycling life ............. in the past year I have had collision with pheasant on four occasions .......... including one on a Sunday morning at 8.00 am when I was riding along a long straight at 50 mph ............. no other traffic in sight in either direction ..the pheasant just waited until I was lined up , then ran headlong eek7.gifeek7.gifeek7.gif into the side of my bike , hitting the engine and my boot .
    I was on the way to meet another rider , and when I got to his house [ 90 miles away ] , I still had feathers embedded in the engine casing !!

    The first shot is really nice, since there is not much color in it I think it is a great candidate for B&W. If you usa the Blue channel it is already almost perfect.
