Had a chance to poke around and shoot a little today. Found the little Greens in town at a business park.

Feel free to C&C (in fact, I welcome hints)

    Three nice subjects. Looks like you were fighting the heavy shadows from a very bright sun. I know wildlife doesn't care about shadows though!:D

    Pretty much, as hot and nasty as it was today EVERYTHING was looking for shadows. Heck that hawk let me get close enough to use a 135mm on him. ( he was sitting by the road and I was in my truck, I wasn't chasing him or anything. He had food)

    Nice set Andrew in some very challenging lighting. thumb.gif Now I know my hopes are soaring and correct me if I'm wrong but it sure looks like that hawk's meal is a dead squirrel (be still my foolish heart).

    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!"

    Love # 2 and 4. Great catch! I would crop bird in #1 closer, it seems to be lost in the background. Good work otherwise!! thumb.gif

    Any post with a hawk eating a squirrel deserves one bump. :D
