Here is a backlit bird, just an opportunity when I was out looking for other shots. With my recent eagle/ vulture debacle, I won't even venture a bird ID

Pretty sure that's a Cedar Waxwing.

Whew! That's what I thought, too.

Danny -- Yes that's a cedar waxwing for sure. Great shot --- the leaves provide a nice frame. Bohemian waxwings live way up north, so the only time you may see them are in the late fall or winter when they move a little south. If you see a waxwing in the spring or summer then it almost has to be a cedar.

Been a while since I've posted. Happy 4th of July if that is your persuasion! Erno

Still one of my favorite backlit pix; taken late afternoon 7/18/10 w/7D 100-400 @ 400, f5.6, ISO 1250, 1/160th.

Erno....love the wolf pic and Jonathan....love your captured moment of the mother and child in lockstep.

Thanks for all the help with the bird ID. Wow! to the other shots, especially both pairs of bears and the hummer.

Backlit Cows. Took this the morning of the 4th. The haze was still pretty prevalent from the wildfires.

Changed my mind. This is my entry.

"Bride"

Some great images....a little over 2 weeks left if you want to add one of yours!

Am partway through an exercise of backyard shots. Finding it is helping me to pay more attention to what is around me.

Gratuitous Flower Shot

JRW stikes me that tight macro of the flower with the colors rioting off into different directions could be cool

here's my entry

"Evening light"

Leaves are my favorite back lit subject. This was taken with the humble, but quite excellent stopped down slighty, nifty fifty.

It was done and is a very different looking image. It was just a bit too overwhelming for me. Found I had to take visual breaks from the overwhelming colour contrasts.

Went on a 7 day backpacking trip in northern Sweden a couple weeks ago and brought 3.5kg of photography equipment and didn't regret it for an instant! This is my dog taking a quick nap at the summit of Kebnekaise (Sweden's tallest mountain) after a really long day, with the midnight sun in the background. Our plan was to be at the summit at midnight to have some awesome views and the whole mountain to ourselves.

That is just a really cool shot... I voted for Poik.

Congratulations Poik!

Great shot!

Thanks everybody for the compliments! I thought the shot turned out really good, but it feels good to know that others think so too!
