Thank you! I did wqit a while, but she was going nowhere. Pretty sure she was sitting on something -- a nest? Not likely if she was displaying for a mate, but in any event, the bus was leaving and I had to go. Can't wait to go back!!!
Larry, I will sign up today, thanks for the suggestion!

Thank you both! I thought "it" might be a "she" but wasn't sure. I metered on the white bird so wasn't surprised that the background came out dark. I was happy with the way this came out (and relieved to find some good keepers in my Florida folder).
Next time, I will remember to include a "bottom" to my image :-) I was so entranced with this little snowy that I didn't think about all the compsposition angles, I just wanted to get her, her pose, and those lovely breeding feathers crisp and clear. |

When I was in Florida I was constantly on the lookout for these guys -- we don't see any up here in the desolation of western NY. I wasn't (un)fortunate enough to see one up close -- no matter how quietly I tried to sneak up on the ones sunning themselves on the trail, they would sense me coming and slink away. A good thing, I think, for both of us. :-)
Didn't notice whether the image was soft or not. I was too busy searching for the alligator's other eye (hidden in the foliage) It's definitely an image that holds the viewer's attention. |

"telephoto feet" <<smirk>> They do come in handy with a prime lens! It's nice seeing owls doing what owls do. . .and in their natural setting; if it's a bit dark, it's because that's what it is supposed to be.

Yeah, it's a little dark, but it's a good-lookin' bird with a mirror-like reflection. So cool! And no cropping! He must have been very still and very close to you. Or you were quick on the draw :-) |

Wow, not a good day to be a dragonfly! I don't know if it's overprocessed, but since the photo looks realistic (to me) and quite detailed with a good bokeh I wouldn't worry, but don't listen to me -- I'm not only an amateur, I'm a new amateur! That looks like a lot of cropping to me, but you lost nothing in the crop -- that must be what the Nikon mirrorless cameras can do when it's in good hands. |

I think it's just perfect! and wondering if that's a guava fruit. No matter, Mr. (or Ms.) Kingtbird is the star of the show and is looking pretty fearsome -- that is, if an 8-inch bird weighing less than 2 oz can be considered fearsome! I just love the detail. |
