What a great shot. Beautifully composed. What can I say 10!
04/29/2003 12:45:59 AM
This is a great photo...love the composition and the DOF, but just wish the lighting was a little more even on the bird...
04/29/2003 12:14:08 AM
Crystal clear, and excellent composition. The waterfall keeps leading our eye back to this wonderful bird. 10

cropping this tight on the sides would make this very dramatic. nice shot, great dof... focus and detail are wonderful
04/27/2003 10:57:07 AM
Very nice image. I like how the main focus of the photo is so prodominant infront the the background. It looks very nice the way it was shot.
04/27/2003 07:58:57 AM
Very nice DOF, great composition, and good lighting! A favourite for me. 9

Great job
04/25/2003 10:32:28 PM
Nice catch! You did a great job of focus too.
04/25/2003 08:36:09 PM
I wonder who he's mooning. great depth of field, I wish I had a camera that would do that. anyhow I'm giving you a ten for a job well done
04/25/2003 12:08:38 PM
Smaller DOF would have added more impact to the image. Good composition.
04/24/2003 07:47:25 PM
I hate those birds, but thats a great shot so i won't hold it against you. The focus here is perfect as well as the lighting.
04/24/2003 06:29:15 PM
Congratulation for this shot! Perfect sharpness.
04/24/2003 05:42:58 PM
Wonderfully clear - and just the right blurring of the background to keep interest and not distract.
04/24/2003 11:16:46 AM
The dof makes this picture really lovely. Good composition, wonderfully calming colors. 8 Journey

Very crisp, nice attitude
04/24/2003 06:28:13 AM
Lovely shot and a very apt title. Really crisp focus, the bird looks like I could reach out and touch it. Well done.
04/24/2003 01:17:09 AM
I just love this pic! The shallow DOF really works here! Your main subject is very highlighted by it.
04/23/2003 08:28:49 PM
I like to hear these birds in the morning and at night-10
