Greatest Hits

Recently Ric being too wimpy to go out and shoot in the summer heat posted an older image. One of his "greatest hits".

Someone suggest that it would be a good idea for a thread so I figured why not?

I'll start the ball rolling with the most popular image from my web site.

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!"

    I can't decide if I love or hate that owl. Love, because it is so beautiful; hate, because I keep staring at it instead of doing anything productive.

    The marmot love is awesome. Encountered marmots for the first time in my life at Yellowstone in May, and immediately decided that the world needs more of them. :)

    And the crane in flight is gorgeous.

    So here is the most popular pic from my website:

    That cat is at least half feral. Does that make it count as wildlife?

    Glad you liked One Minute Old, Rick. Actually there were 2 births within 3 minutes. I was so "gob smacked" by the first I forgot to push the shutter release; then the second head popped up... After a minute I DID remember the shutter. Sometimes pictures are self-naming. :D

    Thanks Dan, I usually just pop in for take a quick look what's here and rarely
    have time to linger let alone post anything. If I did I'd have to monitor the
    thread and unfortunately there's too many out there hanging for answers.
    But this subject just tweaked me. :D
