I would think so Denise, that's nature. And I agree with Steve, great captures, and funny titles.

The British weather has kept me indoors most of this year, but yesterday offered some rare sunshine for a trip to a coastal nature reserve. I found this black-headed gull playing in the surf.

Unique shot... I really like it.

I suppose the 500mm forces you to look for those close up details when you get to close. Most people would go for the head shot, but there is a lot of detail in the legs, feet, and water.

Thanks Pat ... no matter the lens, I like to look for something different ... I did get some good head shots as well

Love the Great Egret shots Joel. Wow, Looking through the forum, I have missed a lot over the passed few weeks, Nice work everybody. Things have been a little hectic here with the new grandbaby, in-laws, ex-laws and everthying else that goes with new babies. But, i did manage to set up and get some shots in yesterday and this morning. Speaking of unique perspectives, I took some advice from our own TDP Birdmaster (JE) and tried some different light setups and angles and here are some of the results:

7d, 500, F8, 1/250th, ISO 100. 4 flashes (two on background-two on bird)


Where did that nectar go?







And some more here if you are interested.
