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!"

    Nice portraits. I really #2. I think it is the light. Can never have enough ospreys either. That is an osprey, right?

    There's a lot of that "cotton mouth" going around as they are always preening themselves. Yep, those lores are changing, mating season is around the corner. I figure in 2-3 weeks the season should be starting in St. Augustine.

    Actually the weather was perfect for the last 5 days of the shoot. We only had crappy weather on teh first two days.

    The shoot was a tremendous amount of fun.

    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.

    You know Harry...
    I always enjoy seeing your images. They are very sharp and have a great feel to them. Sure would be nice to come down that way and do a shoot with you sometime. We don't get those type of species up here in the northland. Thanks for your taking time to post these and moderating the forum. I for one am appreciative and learn neat things here. clap.gif
