I was wondering if this was in a captive environment -- to get a shot like that in less than a week in the wild would be incredibly difficult. :)

Even so, it's still a difficult capture and I only play with 400mm. Can't imagine trying with a 600. Beautifully done!

(Was without a computer for a week, so my congrats are a bit belated.)

Fish & Fowl

wow... seriously? Cool shot! By itself, the shot of the bird is just kind of "meh" (sorry!) because he's in such a weird pose (I know... birds don't pose ;), but the combination and the textures make for a very interesting picture. -8-

Fun image -- I like the tight crop. You have some weird banding around the tree, though. Doesn't matter to me, though, because I love the fun in the shot. :) -8-

Beautiful capture. I'm curious what the background is -- the horizontal lines are kind of odd...

Anyway, nicely done! -8-

Well, fine then! I'm not voting on yours either!!

(which is a shame, because I like him. :)

I do think we should have brought him home, however. :)
