There you are my friend

So glad to hear you and your better half had a great time visiting NC and taking in the sights. You offer up some beautiful shots of the waterfalls. 2 is my pick off them but 3 & 4 are so beautiful with the dreamy treatment you have given them. Congrats on all the Nuthatches, of course they are wonderfully presented pssst, I'll excuse the rebar

Lovely captures Socrate. Very enjoyable to view. Looks like a very peaceful surrounding. I prefer to add a bit sharpness to these. Personal liking only. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jude, glad to hear you liked these. As I said in my previous comments I purposely blurred the images to get a certain look, but I can see your point

Very nice falls and birds Socrate. The slow ss on the falls gives a painterly effect. 5 is my pick of the birds ~ Ron

Outstanding Socrate...and congrats on the nuthatches...they are year round visitors to my yard...I'm wondering when they will figure out when to turn the other way round.

Thank you, Eric. If they haven't figured that out by now, they never will

Beautiful landscapes and nuthatches, Socrate. #2 and 5 are my picks from this terrific set.

Just got back from there Also, be glad you didnt hike to the Bottom of upper falla. I bit off more then I thought. No real path and almost vertical, almost didnt make it back up with m heavy camera and tripod. My legs have been burning for days

Hello Socrate, hope you remember me... I love landscapes almost as much as bird shots, and these are beautiful -- and I like way you played with the shutter speed to give different looks to the watery cascades. And aren't the Nuthatches fun to watch? Congrats on getting your first; my fave of the lot is #5, so pretty against that colorful bg, and in the patented Nuthatch pose. Don't know if you've heard, but I'm retiring next year, and heading down the road with Tundra and Discovery, my travel trailer, for a life of photography, hiking, backpacking, and exploring the US and Canada in general. And visiting with friends...I hope to see you during my Life on the Road Tour 2013-? when we can fill a few memory cards together...

Your Friend,
Steve

Wonderful shots Socrate. It looks like you had a great trip
David

Beautiful scenery but I particularly like the birds. I especially liked the first nuthatch shot. Great composition and I love the color in the background.




Thank you, Greg. The first nuthatch shot is also my favorite
