Yesterday I was returning from dropping some prints off in Salida and on a whim decided to check out Antero Reservoir. I found some great sedge meadows as well as some white pelicans and a flock of white-faced ibis feeding on some mud flats.

Well, you're no Dan Walters or Kurt Bowman, but...THESE are EXCELLENT! Great stuff, Steve. Something weird about the processing on the sedge meadows one, but the others look fantastic.

Great shots, Steve! I love 1&4. Now go find some foxes and prove Todd wrong

Outstanding work! This group of photographs would compare with any I've seen of this subject matter. Very sharp and unique.

I love the ibises, especially the first one! I agree with Todd about the processing on the last.

The sedges shot just seems a little flat to me. The bird shots are outstanding! I am really enjoying your ANWR shots on ESS as well!

That first one has such GREAT texture. Wow. I like the "glow" of the foreground in the last image.

Really like that last ibis image!
