Another nice RR image Howard. Is the same one as your previous post? I love the pose you've capture here. Seems not to be bothered by your presence. Lucky you. I'd love a road runner shot.

I really like the composition of this image. The look in the eye of the Roadrunner and his alert stance tells a story. Great detail and focus.

haha, great pose. Love the habitat. Here in NM, we usually see these guys against some brown background. Nice to see something with a little color to set off the roadrunner. :toast:

Excellent.

I've tried shots of this species from this angle but haven't gotten anything I like.

Did he "beep" at you, Howard? Nice rich colors, and good detail on that slight head turn to get the eye.
