You must have a KING size vault Tom, you keep pulling some exceptional images out of there.

Top pick is the 'Yote', great looking shot, also like 1 and 5, nice shooting sir!

Oh the crappy weather going through the file show is just starting

I just may have a few

Fantasmo set Tom, I do hope Karl likes his posing swallow, I sure do. GBH is actually looking blue, gotta like the exposure on the goose

When you can see their pupils you will have learned! WCS needs a chin wipe, you know those are one of my faves. Hawk on a stick is stellar, what a background! Ninja finch is a cool shot! The doggie is looking like he has someone else in his nostrils, you may have gotten lucky with him

Love em!

On the one hand I feel bad for the crappy weather you've had lately, on the other hand I'm glad because it allows me to enjoy these fine images, Tom. I particularly like 5 and 7.

Hi Tom,

You have some beautiful images in your files. Have you considered getting out in the rain and using the weather to your advantage?

Ahh, the joys of what a garden will bring, perches and poles

Tomato cage perch looks quite fresh, a little patina will aid this one as time passes Tom

I feel like I could reach right in and pick up that beautiful swallow!
A real nice feel in the 'moody blue' portrait, nice transitions in hues and I like the weave of color down the front

Really nice detail on the White crowned sparrow, neat shot buddy. I'm good with the RTH on a stick, looks like he is in a wind tunnel

'Ninja' is a favorite, unique comp and just a fine looking shot Tom

#8 is fine example of tonal graduations, techinically an excellent image IMO.
Yote is OK doe-K, very cautious approach, stll building trust I see

Good stuff from the vault my friend, any special wines you might be pulling from it

Dang Tom,
You've got some serious stockpiles buddy, killer set man!
Really hard to do any picks, but I'm really enjoying the White Crown, Cowbird and the Swallow.
Super work on the whole set though bro.

You want to hear something really sad? It was sunny and warm here in So. Cal. today but I had to work in an airconditioned builing all day and didn't get to take advantage of it. I don't know which is worse.... bad weather and can't shoot or good weather and can't shoot....

So, now that I've shared that with you, this was a very enjoyable set and I really like those sticks and cages the birds were perched on

Fav is the RTH on a stick and some of the other ones too!

These can't be from the vault...they look like top stuff for me

If I nailed a pic like the 1st RTH i'd be the happiest man on earth! love that 1

#1 is just as good and so is the ninja finch

Tom -
With so many fine images (I'm sure there's a lot more), you'll have to make many more withdrawals from that vault of yours.

All I can say is calling them as coming from the Vault, is sure appropriate as they are for sure Treasures!! thanks for sharing Tom. The Stick Hawk, the Ninja Finch and the Yote are my Favorites but all are truly fine!
