    Deja vu! (until someone deletes the other thread and makes that statement meaningless)

    Nice bird pics. I like the ones with the two wood storks and the snowy contemplating its reflection.

    Gene these are all fantastic but the second one is unique. I think I'm correct that it is a juvenile Reddish Egret. I've barely seen any shots of that caliber of a juvenile RE but never with a fish like that in its beak. clap.gif The lighting on the Ibis is fantastic also. Thanks for sharing.

    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!"

    Great shots! I really like the egret looking at his reflection.

    (ps: I'm glad to see that you're taking pics again clap.gif)

    Wonderful work.
    You need to work on the space at the bottom, need room for some virtual feet.

    Lovely!!!!

    Yes, youv'e mentioned this already - it is a problem with my viewfinder that shows more at the bottom than get on the sensor. But I think most of these are fine and this whole virtual leg thing is a bit dogmattic - it sdepends on the focus of the photo.

    Simply fantastic!thumb.gifthumb
    Not a fan of the frames though. These shots stand well enough on their own.
