I like number 1 the most Fast Glass, the image has good eye contact with catch light and good pose.

Thanks Nate.


You must be super patient to get all of those bird shots. How long do you usually wait to get that right shot?

A couple photos stitched together of sunrise 9-21-09 out my window. Almost missed the bus for this haha. Worth it? I'll let you decide

ps - Thanks Sinh, for your comments on the previous shots. I won't even begin to comment on yours, other than to say "Wow!"

Great work! If I could add anything I might add a little satruration, but mabye not. You could give it a try.


Overall love the pose, cachlight, background, eye contact,just a great shot. Keep up the good work.

Those aregreat wickerprints! Focus was spot on by the looks of things and that bokeh is delicious.

Great work! If I could add anything I might add a little satruration, but mabye not. You could give it a try.

I think the saturation is perfect - looks very natural. Might need to calibrate your monitor John [] I have noticed in a couple of your shots that the greens are highly saturated. Then again, I'm at work sothismonitor might not be perfect either.


Keep up the good work.
