Sing the title like the Beatles' song.

The fluff of the colored feathers reminds me of the condensation puff you see when jets hit the sound barrier.

I liked the form of this one.

And for those of you who only prefer in focus shots.

    Well, I can't understand the words of any Beatles' song, and I am not familiar with the one you mention, however,

    Those are really cool red winged blackbird photos. I have often SEEN the vibrant red in the bird's wing as he/she escapes my camera. I have come close, but I have never managed to catch it as you did!

    Good Catch, good photos,

    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Gosh! These guys are difficult to capture well, but seems like you were successful. #3's my favorite though. Well done thumb.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!"

    You sure have been busy lately Khaos. Spring hits and you come out of hibernation. I like these shots a lot. I've tried shooting RWBB's and I can never get close enough. Good shots, I even like the blurred ones. The second would have been really great if it had been a head on shot.
