I love the detail & composition of #3 (the little sandpiper) - he looks like he could reach out an peck your lens! I also love the close-up of the eye in #5.
I'm back and Zoomer didn't sink me I made sure he left your seat nice and clean Nello, it's all nice and ready waiting for to sit in it next summer
Oh man that first Osprey, you should have backed up to get him in the frame Cool shot and Osprey2 is pretty sweet also I was waiting for your sandpipers, looking real good That's one happy heron Chad burd is a wonderful portrait.
Sorry to hear you not feeling well The pics are up to par buddy no doubt about that

It wasn't for lack of trying
Sweet series, Nello, There do seem to be a few missing body parts on those Osprey shots which could only mean that you were close enough to be on a 1st name basis with that guy
Really enjoyed that shot of the little piper - great angle on that one and the chad burd, well, it is what it is
Mr GBH also came out great and too
Hope you get well soon, buddy, and Tim is only kidding about the seat being clean. You might want to bring some disinfectanct with the next time you come out
Hey Nello, looks to me like you have found a great way to recover. Having some time to do a little PP always makes me feel better!
This is a wonderful set. The second Osprey image is my favorite of the two. It is a very nice pose with nice exposure on the underside.
Both the GBH and "Chadburd" have nice detail and really rich color. Those are just super shots. But the Western Sandpiper takes the prize, for me. This shot has a wonderful DOF with a nicely blurred BG. The angle of the shot has a nice low look and the SP has a nice pose. There is good detail with pleasing colors and good exposure. #3 is a real winner.
When I posted #5 I never thought someone would pick it out as favourite hard to imagine really everybody seems to enjoy it though so there must be some beauty in all that ugliness
Thx for the look Master Shasoc wrote:
These look very nice, Nello. I particularly like 5 and 3, in that order. # 5 shows a very good lighting and some sharp detail. Sorry to hear about the Swine Flu, but at least it didn't have any effect on your PP as I can see

3 times in a month? you're a flu magnet sister! Netgarden wrote:
Glad you are a survivor of the swine! Now you are immune. Take care of yourself!
Gosh, that Chadburd is dead sharp! Glad you got out and had some fun. That alone has healing qualities. I've had the flu 3 times this month. Wahh! I always manage to feel better when back to lugging the gear, lol.
3&4 huh? what's wrong w the Chadburd?
Had a look at the video but it all seems silly to me...all these conspiracy theories
Btw I didn't get vaccinated Lil Judd wrote:

So now pp is the cure for Swine Flu Nello Or maybe its the Swine flu thats making the pp so good. But whatever, thats a great set Nello. The WS is a super shot, GBH looking great and the detail in the last one is fantastic. Are those flowers at the top of its head
Get well soon my friend!
Cheers,

Nope. no nello shots..I let my followers do the dirty job for me these dayz digitalbug30d wrote:
do you have a pic of the sand-pipers butt?
I like the second better Nello though there all great photos. I’m glad you are feeling well enough to process and post. Get well soon! It went through my family in the spring as we live right next the prep school that introduced it to the US. For us it was a 3 day thing and not that bad.
Not far from the truth on the sandpiper...he got right up to the MFD of the lens A few times even closer! glad you liked'em Marcy MarcyJillGood wrote:
