Great exposure, very nice shot Joel--- and just the right amount of wing blur. I just have one question---what kind of flowers are those???

[bob williams]

Steve, I love the shots of your lorikeets--Those are cool birds, Just wish I had one or two in my neighborhood.

Brant, I agree with the others---Great shots of the loons, but the top one is excellent, great exposure and angle of view.

Thanks Bob.... I don't know what they are .... I saw them when I was playing golf a few days ago and picked a sprig to bring home.


PS Did you get my email?

Steve....nice composition and beautiful bird.


Joel....as always...amazing.


Bob...that is a Red Prince Weigela shrub........I have two .


All three of you....the comments are much appreciated. I am glad you like the loon shots and that you mentioned the low angle. I may be able to get even lower. Something for me to try next time....
