It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    Great Shots Z, i like the hawk. It is a Red Shoulder?
    Lol, the wood stork is pretty ugly, but looks great in flight, I'll have to admit.

    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!"

    Yeah, I noticed that as well. Was ev -1.00 and still blew out the top of the white wing. Still shooting JPEG - I gotta switch over to raw and give that a try.

    I am hoping Reznick can explain that all to me!

    Much better DOF with bird sharp and clear except for the spoonbill.


    Now you need to clean your sensor - You got dust bunnies in your sky in shots #2 and #3.
