Great job shooting this with a 500. I know how hard it is to pan with one of those up close on a fast moving bird, so bravo!

You're killing it lately!

Great shot- really like the variety of the landscape between the elk, meadow, and Longs.

Yes, the texture and color of the tail are very nice. Great shot.
Very effective cropping, as well.

Interesting that every human is more or less looking towards you (us).

Like a torpedo being launched from the window.
Do you think BW would have made the bird stand out more?

Very nice- I also like the photographer in the scene- adds another dimension onto things.

I can't say I've ever described a bird photo as voyeuristic, but that is certainly true here. I get the feeling I'm in a perverse bird Hitchcock movie, watching the starlet.

May 14 - Turtles

Comment:
AHA! Some doughnut circles of confusion at long last!

I like the progression of the three turtles, from partially submerged on up to completely out of the water.

Day 8 - The Concert
by mrchhas

Comment:
The shutter is dead on here. Slow enough to show motion in the guitar yet still freeze the singer. The placement of the bassist is a bit unfortunate, but anytime you shoot a band in a small venue you're fighting that same battle of composition and band members sprouting mic stands from their ears and all manner of horribleness. This came out quite nice, I think.

Man, I don't recall seeing this. It's a gorgeous photo, and the sunburst is just the cream on top.
