Tadas N., I really like your picture of the coot. Great color


Bill W., great shot of the hawk.


Thanks for the advice, I wish I could have gotten eye level with the birds I was taking pictures of but they are privately owned and the closest I could get a clear shot is standing over them from a boardwalk in their pond. I hope in the future I can get the chance to get better shots since their owner is customer of where I work and he's very happy that I enjoy taking pictures of all his birds.


Here's another shot of the same black swan, which seemed to enjoy my presence compared to the other geese, ducks, and swans.

Here's a shot I recently took of some Purple Martins around their bird house.

Any thoughts or advice are appreciated since I am just learning photography with a SLR camera.
