p.1 #1 · Prairie Birds and a snake for zoom


Hey yall,

Its pretty crappy today rainy and dark so I decided to pp some shots from a visit to my folks in Colorado.

The rattlesnake is for Mr. Zoom (how ya like me now?). Was taken with a 55mm f/2.8 macro no extensions (nothing broke back bout that).

As always C&C MORE then welcome!

Love the Borrwing Owl... great pose and very nice light from the side.
Quail is nice too... good eye contact and nice composition.
Nice work on the Hummers and I like the shallow DOF on the Rattler.
Nice work.

That rattler looks like it's about to snap at you! Very good shot, and lovely series. No. 5 is my fav.

Did I hear my name? Aweome pose on that B-owl - Wow!

Sweet hummers and, yes, no broken backs with that rattler - though I am concerned about the sanity of the photographer what tooked it

Bonus treat on the hummers and the quail like burd.

Great set, love the pose in the owl shot.
There is a line showing up all across the bottom of the snake shot on my monitor. That snake does blend in so well though!

Uh oh think your monitor is on its way out.

Actually I put a gradient box that I screened back to try and be creative and make the signature pop, unfortunately it did not do much. I should have just put my name on the left in that bottom left oof area.

N., that first shot... what a cutie B-owl. Lovely bokeh, pleasant golden light, though personally I would like to see the owl's left eye in the light as well but that's just my preference. Also I would probably take a little bit off of the left edge and either the top or bottom as well. Focus is spot on. The raised foot adds an extra point.

My favorites are also the HB shots. Nice touch with the yellow nectar at the base of its bill.

Excellent set well done, I love visual art you look and you see your creation; sooner or later you may visulize it differently.
