This is my 2000th Post. Hard to believe I've been on the FM Forum for a year this month. Time flies when you're having fun I guess. I did want to thank the forum for the tremendous amount of help I've received with my photography over the last year. I wish I had saved the first picture I posted on the Wildlife Forum. Fortunately for all of you I did not It wasn't pretty!! Thanks to all of you, I feel my photos have improved by leaps and bounds.
These are all from the past few weeks, trips here and there. I hope they are worthy of my 2000th post. I shall let you be the judge.
Anthony --
Congratulations!! and many happy returns on the Forum.
You have to remember to give back what you've taken
I don't recall your first post and first image from a year ago. But I agree with you that your images are very fine these days. You and only you can atest to this.
The 2000th post features very fine photography again. There are minor glitches (not in PP - in composition - eg. I wish the wing wasn't clipped in my favourite shot #5) but they're nothing. Great images. Great skills.
Keep it coming, and congrats again, mate!

Anthony, you lucky Bast@&d you , now were even Oh the egrets at last I waited day's to see these darn things, I bugged you with PM's I sent emails, heck I was just about ready to send a love mail (in Spanish) just to beg some more Wonderful job on the whites, and the comps and eye contact/focal point are perfect, Did you use HTP? If not, you should give it a whirl on these white birds, I feel it underexposes about 1/3 to 2/3 from the meter, but also does a amazing job on the feather detail. Congrats on your 2k post, I passed 3k just a few back and just realized it
Congrats on your 2000th post Anthony. These are some sweet shots. I love all the egrets and particularly like the RWBB. Great work, keep them coming.

Ah congrats my friend!! It has been wonderful talking, emailing, pm'ing and commenting with you. Nice job on the egrets, one of the birds I wish we had here. As nice as the egrets are I like the heron in the tree the best. The RWBB is very well done also.
Hmm, your first post. Maybe that could be a thread we should start! It may be interesting.
Hey Anthony been keepin' the goodies stacked away for this 1 huh?
#4,5,6 are perfectly executed man! you've learned a lot from your 1st post..unlike me
Well done!
Congrats, Anthony. You've been a great asset to this forum, and I have enjoyed your posts as well as you sense of humor. These are excellent shots. You've gone a long way sinse last year. Well done.

Anthony, Good for you -- looking forward to the next 2000! I haven't been able to check the forum for the last couple of months on a regular basis but I am glad I found time today - I able to see your super set. All great! Steve W
Congrats Anthony! Great series of a difficult to expose bird. It's also pretty cool to think you have improved that much with the help of FM. I feel the same way.
It wasn't pretty!! Thanks to all of you, I feel my photos have improved by leaps and bounds.
