    I actually think the lizard is the best shot. I love the coloration. With that said though, I love a good caracara shot and you have not disappointed! What type of comorant are those? ne_nau.gif

    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!"

    This has a great feel about it. I like the expression , crop and space, and positioning of the bird in relation to the frame.

    Its a keeper!

    PS: That lizard shot is pretty sweet. Those things are tough to get good focus on with their small size and limited depth of field.
    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.
