Thanks, Robert! (Regarding southwest flora and fauna, I was referring to the prickly Pyrrhuloxia, although I think the Cholla makes an excellent perch for Catcus Wren and Black-chinned Sparrow also!)

---------------------------------------------

Holy cow, I just had to bookmark your 1x portfolio, Greg! That's some inspirational photography


Mitesh, you're much too kind; inspiration comes from sharing and generosity (like the FM community).

It just goes to show what proper technique, exposure and use of equipment and talent can produce!

These are excellent images in every way, nice work and you have earned my vote Greg However it would be nice to see something of a comp with more environment for me..........

Lovely work
Karl


Thanks so much for stopping by, Karl; it's always a pleasure and a learning experience to read your comments. I know exactly what you mean about environment but in this case a wider crop didn't have much beyond, sadly, a cigarette butt and a discarded water bottle.

Thanks so much, Shreeni! Nickerson is a terrific place; the terns, plovers, and skimmers manage to co-exist with (and be protected from) the beachgoers and photographers, but are sufficiently habituated so that it's not so hard to get reasonably close.

Thanks so much, Mike; there's something special about babies whether they have feathers, fins, or hair!

Thanks, Bruce! Only room for two tern chicks in front on this shot. Hope you and Tamy are enjoying some tropical wildlife experiences this summer.

Stunning images, Greg. Honestly, I can't pick my favorite; I love them all. Great detail, spot-on exposure, Low angle and these photos are so adorable. Well done, Greg
