    Sweeeeeet set, Ric... love your use of exacting saturation. It really made wonderful images even better... particularly the deer and vulture.

    That deer is fantastic! Put a frame around it and hang it. Nice job with that Turkey Vulture. They are difficult to shoot because of exposure issues with the black feathers.

    It takes time to get an eye for color. Being able to adjust the luminance and saturation on specific hues can make a world of difference IMO.

    The last three are outstanding and I hope your first subject didn't infect you with the black death. :grim
