Those are great shots. I disagree, however, with your assessment regarding the background. To the contrary, the ledge and masonry create some dynamic tension, IMHO, and establish a dimension for the scene that makes it more than just another technically-flawless and beautiful wildlife shot.
Call it visual irony or contrast - either way, the mixture of elements makes the picture a lot more interesting and enjoyable, for me, anyway.
THANKS. Thank you, Bill. I really appreciate your assesment of the urban factor in the images. It is true that this is where they are and I'm gonna make the images even though they're not in a tree.

awesome series all in all, but #5, #6, #7, #8, #9 should go straight to a nature mag. Super detailed images. Congratulations.
Thank you for your kind words.
Very nice shots, Chris. All very well done, as always. Thanks for sharing again this year. It was interesting to see that the female had safely prepared the rattler for her young. Were there more rattlers this year than before? Local news reports have been claiming an increase, and I have seen more warning signs posted in nature areas.
Regards,
John
