I was in Montana last weekend and on my way home I spotted this pr. in a small marsh. I was excited to get these.

Whoa! That's some banding program they have there!
On another note ............. nice handling of the white highlight exposure.

Christ, those bands are sure subtle, aren't they?

One of these days they're going to find that a species goes extinct because the bands make them stand out to predators.

nice work on this series. the whites appear well exposed. too bad about the banding. i understand its purpose but from a photographer's perspective it is quite distracting in the shot.

The photos are very well done. I agree with those who said the white are well captured. But I wish so much that the tags weren't there, it distracts from their natural habitat...do you like the clone stamp?
