Hey Andy......sounds like a nice place to hang out!
You know me, gonna tell it like I see it.........
For me 1-5 seem very light, #3&4 seem to have a WB issue and #4 is lacking contrast. I like the compo in #1
#6 shows excellent whites, a little more head turn would be winner!
#7 if only a peak at the eye.......
#8 Lovely lovely lovely
#9 Wall Art, visually stunning, dynamic and killer cool
#10 Wow, amazing grace and beauty, lovely color and ambiance Andy
#11 A lot of pushing on color that has an interesting effect though I don't like the resulting patterns it left on the OOF duckie
#12 Eagle-icious

Incredible images!! Well done. Best of luck on your workshops.
Ray,
I'm very happy to say the workshops in Florida have been selling really well, to my surprise. Thanks so much for showing me the possibilities.

Very nice set Andy. 8,9 and 10 are my pick. 10 is stunning. Love the snail kite too. I was at Florida couple week ago for business trip and got sometime to shoot. I wasn't lucky enough to see the snail kite, the tide was too high. Hopefully, next time.

Thanks Vince,
The Spoonbills seem to be a crowd-favorite at the local wetland. I was lucky enough to get a fly-by at eye level and in great light.
The Snail Kites are concentrated in very localized spots in the state. Let me know the next time you're in town.

Well done, Andy....Reddish egret and Spoonbill look perfect to me, with beautiful background.
Regarding the KFC flight shot, which, BTW, has been nicely and sharply caught: the bird looks much lighter in general appearance/colouring than the birds I see in Ontario. Perhaps local diet/habitat changes Florida KFs that way ?
My preference would also be to frame it with a bit more open space, to give it more of an "airy" and "flighty" feel, similar to what you gave the perched KF.

#12 with Bald Eagle is fantastic! The impact of the wingspan is what sets this apart. Nice job!
Thanks for the nice words. The Bald Eagle was coming in very rapidly, I didn't have the camera in my hand, I ran to the car to grab the camera. Only had enough time to raise it for one single shot, but the Eagle was almost on top of me. Looks like he already ate part of the squirrel, poor thing!
Thanks!
