Beautiful color and texture. What a fabulous trip you must have had!

I like the fuzzy little new antlers. Nice focus and DOF. I'm quite impressed with your lens. I have a rebel XTi and am looking for a good zoom lens. I have motion blur problems with my Canon 70-300mm IS lens. How close to the subject were you when you took this shot?

Nice shot. I have never seen one of these. You got excellent detail with the beautiful texture of the fur, the front teeth, and the little hands. How I wish that white bit in the lower left wasn't there, but such is wildlife photography -- you get what you can. And you did it well.

What I like about this photo is the curve of the bird bath and the stone at the top. I think I would like it without the bird. A nice Zen sort of image.

Beautiful flight shot with that clear feather detail. The fish makes it even better. I love the wild mood of the scene -- it feels like deep wilderness.

Water Bug

Comment:
These little critters are so cool the way than can walk on water. You did a good job of capturing the bug and the little dents in the water.

Fossil on Log

Comment:
It seems over processed, but the effect is still pleasing. I like the way the shape of the fossil is repeated in the knots on the log. I wonder if you could reduce the noise without compromising the detail in the subject.

I like the textures and colors in this image. Clever of you to look for something tiny when there seems to be nothing available.

ETA: Whatever that is in the upper half of the image, distracts me from what I consider the beauty of the lower half. I began to wonder how this would look if you rotated it so that the rock was diagonal. Either that or crop off the top half making a mini-panorama -- a snail sized panorama. :)

I'm pretty sure this is a Cedar Waxwing. I can't see the wings, but the breast is buff colored rather than slate, and there is a touch of white above the black marking on the face.

References: Cedar Waxwing, and Bohemian Waxwing.

They are such beautiful birds, you are lucky to have the opportunity to photograph them.

chipmunks are so cute. It's fun to see the little creature by the mountain of corn. The lighting isn't up to your usual quality. This might be a fun image to experiment with the lighting effects filter in PS (filter>render>lighting effects). I would play with the Omni light.

e.t.a: You can achieve similar lighting effects by using a Soft Light layer and painting with a low saturation soft brush using black/white to burn/dodge. Although I'm sure you know that already, someone else reading this might be interested.
