Gary, I am a member of a Group #72. Our moderator, Isaac Vaisman, sent me your image because I posted an image from Letchworth in our group. Your image is simply breathtaking! What a treat to catch the train. Your lighting and post processing are stunning. I wanted to go to Letchworth during the winter this year but we never made it. I live in Webster so we are about an hour away. After seeing your image, I will definitely return in the fall! |

Mary, I agree with everyone's comments about the conversion to monochrome. It really makes the zebras pop. I like your final crop because it gives the viewer the opportunity to see more of the environment in which these animals live. My eye travels from the foreground zebras back to the left side and then the mountains and clouds take me to the right side to see more zebras. Very nicely done!

Walt, Thank you. The big lens has definitely been a worthwhile investment. Yesterday there were over 50 turkey vultures who made a visit to an abandoned barn across the street from our yard, and I was able to get some very cool images without disturbing them. |

Bruce, Thank you very much. Oh I just love your Pyrrhuloxia. I can't wait until the day when I can travel and see such interesting birds. |

Mary, Thank you so much. I have always enjoyed watching birds. I am intrigued by their behavior, especially when courting. This morning a female cardinal was hanging out in a gutter that I could see from my bedroom window. She didn't see me as I snapped away! Now I am waiting for the Baltimore orioles to show up. |

Thank you, Isaac. Though I do look forward to traveling again, during the COVID pandemic, I have found great pleasure in capturing birds in my area. I am so glad that I decided last June to invest in the 850. It has made a world of difference in capturing so many pixels. |

Isaac, How fortunate to catch such a unique image! The image captures the spirit of mutualism in nature. You captured the critical elements of survival such as water in the foreground and the the animals' need for space, which is captured by the depth in the image. At first I wondered if a panoramic would make it more effective; however, the more I viewed it, I realized that the water in the foreground is necessary to tie all aspects of the mutualism together. Nicely done! |

Adrian, Such a fabulous image of the puffins. I also love the additional image that you included. Your cropping and pp enhance the subject. Your title is very effective as it leads me to thinking of all sorts of possibilities in the story created by your image. I am eagerly looking forward to our planned trip to Ireland, which was supposed to be in September 2021, but was moved to September 2022. Photographing a puffin is one of my goals for the trip! |

WOW! What a fabulous image! I can see why you scored so well with this image. Your post processing, which enhanced the details, particularly the textures and color, makes me sense what it might feel like to touch the rusted metal. Nicely done!

Bruce, I love the story being told by this Trumpeter Swan. Though he is keeping himself warm, it almost seems as if he is hoping someone will lend him a heavier winter coat. Very effective composition. |

Randy, What a beautiful image! The greenery of the foreground and midground accentuate the hue of the bear. The trees point the viewer's eyes up to the majestic mountain. Nicely done! |

Randy, Thank you so much! I enjoyed your story of the Pyrrhuloxia....I will have to look for one the next time I travel to the Southwest. I looked them up to see if they ever migrate to my area, but apparently they are non-migratory birds. Lucky you to catch one, even though you thought it was a female cardinal! |
