    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!"

    Tough lighting and lots of distance between you and the osprey ne_nau.gif Ya done good IMO clap.gif


    Despite the great pics posted here, by Harry, Ben, Jeff and others, shooting birds is a tough task. All the more reason to really appreciate it when you finally do get some outstanding bird pics iloveyou.gif

    Don't get discouraged and keep shootin them birds :D
