59	Jun 23	Reply	Thanks Gerry, I appreciate the kind words. Bruce	Jun 28th
59	Jun 23	Reply	Finally spotted it, Was thrown off because no one is looking towards the ball. Looks like a good idea especially with limited space. Your original photo helps to show the set up.	Jun 5th
59	Jun 23	Comment	Don, That is the thrill of soccer, with the margin of victory being so small it really means something to score or even to assist. You captured the emotions of such an event. Well done, you even captured the referee signaling the goal in the background Bruce	Jun 5th
59	Jun 23	Comment	Gerry, I agree with Ronald on all counts. The angle of the riders really draws the eye to the action. You chose just the right Fstop to get all the riders in focus and even the lines in the helmets are interesting. Well done. Bruce	Jun 5th
59	Jun 23	Comment	Hey Kerry, I just photographed a rodeo yesterday and the day before. Start time was 1:30 so light was pretty harsh just the opposite of your conditions. I am always amazed at the clowns who protect the riders after they are ejected, they are pretty brave. I was saddened when on of my favorite bulls fell and had to be put down because it broke it's rear leg. Your image is pretty noise free considering the high ISO. It is nice to see you have an common interest with me. Bruce	Jun 5th
59	Jun 23	Comment	Hey Isaac, Interesting concept to use a wall. Of course pickleball was invented here in Washington state so not sure they would like the idea. I had a pickle ball tournament every year with my PE students with a huge dill pickle for the winners of each grade and slices of pickle for all the spectators watching the finals. While your image is interesting, without your explanation there is no way to know what is going on especially since there is no ball.	Jun 5th
59	Jun 23	Comment	Hey Ron, Your images highlights the amazing spirit of people with handicaps. To me this is a great image. Your Crop eliminates most of the distracting stuff in the background, and I might suggest cropping just a little more on the left side to eliminate the plastic bag. Bruce	Jun 5th
59	Jun 23	Comment	Hans, another interesting hockey image this month. The vivid colors are nice, the image is sharp an well exposed especially with the bright sun. You caught good action and the players for a nice triangle. Bruce	Jun 5th

72	Jun 23	Reply	Thank you Barbara, I have been really lucky to have the opportunity to photograph these foxes. I have been photographing at this location for about four years and now restrictions have been put in place that make it much harder to photograph them. Bruce	Jun 18th
72	Jun 23	Comment	Thank you Marie, I appreciate you comments. Bruce	Jun 18th
72	Jun 23	Comment	Isaac, Alligator Farm is one of my favorite places to photograph. The number of spoonbills has increased there each year for several years. The beauty of the pink colors especially in breeding colors is what makes the spoonbill so spectacular so do not think mono would work. I do not care for the shadow from the bushes on the wings. You captured the behavior of beak biting well. Bruce	Jun 15th
72	Jun 23	Comment	Adrian, Your image captured the birds as well as the environment they live in very will. The reflections are interesting . I have to agree with Isaac about the white spots since they are so bright that they take my eye away from the main features of the image. Bruce	Jun 15th
72	Jun 23	Comment	Maria, You captured a beautiful bird with a great pose. You were able to get a lot of detail from a large crop. Bruce	Jun 15th
72	Jun 23	Comment	Barbara, Isaac is correct with the green heron ID. They are common here in Washington state, but quite shy so are not easy to see in the open like yours. I the changes Isaac made however perhaps a little less opacity. The background is great. Bruce	Jun 15th
72	Jun 23	Comment	Maria, I agree with Isaac and Adrian and would like to see at least some of the petals sharp. The two bees are really sharp and interesting, Bruce	Jun 15th
72	Jun 23	Reply	Thanks Isaac, This location is quite well known here in Washington state, people have come from as far as Australia to photograph them. The locals are upset because the photography workshops that have started surround the kits and keep the vixen from delivering food. They are located on San Juan island and many years ago rabbits were introduced to provide food for the lighthouse keeper. The rabbits took over and foxes were introduced to keep the rabbits at bay. The location is on a National historical site and they have changed the rules so access to the dens is very far away, making it very difficult to get photos. Sorry BFF stands for "best friends forever".	Jun 5th
