#2 cracked me up. #4 is gorgeous! Definitely a keeper! And no crop to boot - kudos to you! That's one of those that makes us think, "THAT'S why I still do this!" Great job.

Terrific progression!

That last one is superb. With no crop - excellent job tracking! And sharp too.

Love the blue markings on the wing.


Thanks for sharing.

Good Job Copy, last one brilliant.

Thank you OBie, Loupey, and Bev. I was almost certain that I cut off some of his tail-feathers in the last shot... It's my favorite image so far

I just wanted to add this common golden-eye hen without starting another thread. Isn't she a beautiful ugly duck?

[OBie]

That's a face only a mama could love.
