The subject matter and colors of this image are wonderful. Admittedly I know very little about the technical aspects of avian photography, but I know I like this a lot. Very nice!

Sandy, this one is priceless. The perfectly calm reflection just adds so much to this scene, it really does make the image IMO. :cool:

Sandy,

This is great! I'm not an avain photographer, but I used to be a birder with my aunt many years ago, so I can appreciate the effort required. Nice job!

Also, it's really a treat seeing avian images at CANP! Keep posting!

Cute little buggers!!! I might consider warming it up just a touch, but looks really fine as presented, too.
