Tim, thank god there is an explanation to go with #2 That is a wild shot, very cool. Those feather markings are gorgeous on them. Although the low angle of the Shoveler in #4 is nice, the Mallard in #5 steals the show, that is a winner for me
Now a about the flower................only one ahhhhh come on man! Those delicate paper whites are pure and beautiful. Lots of detail and a very good start to another possible addiction. Thanks for the dedication, needed that man
Nice job buddy.............Karl
Karl, it's a toss up for me, the mallard or 2. I'm not kidding when I say I was thinking of you and Terry when I was looking at that rhodie. I was on the lookout for a kingfisher but couldn't find one. I then saw the nice white flowers in soft light. The only problem was that I wasn't set up for it. Thanks for the kind words and being the muse sitting on my shoulder and giving me that little push.

Wonderful shots Tim. Although the head is nowhere to be found, I like the feather detail in #2. Second favorite is the last one, very nice.
Doug
Thanks Doug, that is why I posted 2, I had some others where you could see the head but I thought it was better without it!

Very nice work. I love the gadwall poses. They must be practicing their yoga.

Maybe that is why they are so at peace with me so close!! Thanks Harsha.

Beautiful shots, Tim. Clean, very well exposed, and with fine detail. # 3, and 5 are my favorites. Great pose captured in the first shot.
Socrate
Socrate, thanks for the kind words. I'm learning from you! I like 5 a great deal myself, that one was very good right out of the camera.

Congratulations on your first flower posting Tim. Its nice to see a full bloom of flowers getting attention. I posted one something like this a while back and got lots of useful advice including on isolating one flower instead of the whole bloom and I know this type of photo can be really spectacular but I still think the full bloom can make a beautiful photo.
Martin
Thanks Martin, I struggle with isolating a single flower. I have to agree with you, a single flower may be the better way to go but sometimes the whole bloom looks a bit more natural.

Tim,
Nothing wrong with your flowers! They look good. How much use is a tripod for flowers anyway if there's any wind at all? I rarely use mine for them. Favorite? The mallard is absolutely perfect. Very well done!

COOL FLOWER TIM Excellent! Now if I could only shoot birds as well as you...
Seriously, it is an extremely nice shot.
Terry
Dude, I was getting to think I may have posted a flower and then for one reason or another YOU wouldn't see it. I wouldn't be too worried about your birds if I were you. Thanks a lot Terry!!!

Matt, I think a tripod is good, for me at least, when shooting flowers or landscapes for composing and checking the corners of the frame. That and the use of LOW ISO.
Thanks for the kind words, I'm partial to the mallard myself.

Nice gadwall shots Tim. I like the first shoveler shot in this set.
Herb
Thanks Herb. That shoveler and I caught each other off guard, he came out from behind some branches just as I was peaking over the weeds. We both kind of froze, so I squeezed the trigger!
