    WOW- there are some really nice pictures in that series. The details of the feathers, good colors, and dof.
    1-3 and #7 are my favs.

    Very nicely done! thumb.gif

    Ecellent series Jody. Gatorland is a good spot for photo ops if you can't make it up to St. Augustine.

    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!"

    What can I say that I haven't said before? When you decide that you're going to start giving lessons, let me know. I want in! Awesome work, Mr. Melanson.

    Amazing shots, all of them.

    Do you blur your watermarks to match the bokeh? headscratch.gif

    You've in the groove Jody, and you make it look so easy. All are outstanding blue ribbons, but #9 is my choice for the grand prize. thumb.gifthumb.gifthumb.gifthumb.gif
