Beautiful! The larger version is even nicer. Composition, color, great.


You broke the rule that says the ground line shouldn't be in the middle. I bring this up not to detract from the photo, but to cast doubt on the rule! (Maybe the rule works sometimes)


On a totally unrelated note, this picture illustrates how with a long slow lens, one can get a nice dof and still have a wonderful background blur.


I live pretty close to Irvine but don't think I've ever been to the San Joaqin Wildlife Sanctuary. Methinks I should.

Mob, I really like your dolphin shot. The tiger potrait is missing the catch light


Jon, hope to run into you in the near future at SJWS. Just look for a slim Asian guy about 5'9 wearing a brown hat and carrying a 40D & 400 f/5.6L combo. [][]

I'll be the slim white guy about 5' 9" wearing a tan hat and carrying a 5DII with vertical grip and 70-200 f/2.8 IS.

Mof, the pictures are great, I like them both.


And Sinh Nhut Nguyen, I don't know what to say - your bird pictures are truely amazing.
