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!"

    You need to try more often. I like the wing extensions you captured with the grackle and RRBB. Any bittern is a good bittern, but yours has some nice color, but the red bellied images are wonderful! thumb.gif

    The stilt is fabulous! thumb.gif

    The red belly's are choice. clap.gif

    That RWBB wing spread and pose is outstanding...but I think the black needs to be blacker. I tried an exposure adjustment on it and it really looked good to me...of course when I did that the sat on the red had to be decreased.
