Beautiful shots Dan!

They sure are!
The third is my favorite. Perhaps you can enhance the catch light in its eye?

Way to go!

Great shots Dan! I will post some of mine tomorrow. I wanted to get some more test ISO shots on the forum for a couple of people first. I like how your shots came out....as always, they are excellent!

#1 is excellent, very thoughtful to shoot vertically and include the front leg. Nice comp.

Thanks for the comments and the catchlight suggestion. Went back and fixed that.

I saw a bunch of these this weekend but never bothered to stop. Usually if I do and get my gear all ready they scatter and I'm just mad at myself. But you make me wish I did stop... these are really beautiful!

I really like 2 and 3 a lot. Great shots. The oof yucca in the first one is just too distracting for me.

Those are fantastic, Dan! I really like the 3rd image. I agree..if you can bring out the catchlight in his eye, it would be even better. Very nice.

Wonderful shots Dan. #1 is my favorite.
