I would really love to visit this pond - seems like a wonderful place. More gorgeous shots here - all of them are awesome. Great job workin the low angle, it made for some really nice bg's, and great perspective on the bird.


Thanks so much for your really kind words Ashley. It's a great spot for sure, but because of some recent changes to the surrounding area, the BG's aren't nearly as nice as years past. Still pretty decent though.

All are extra nice Kirk. The low angle makes them ~ Ron


Thanks so much Ron. Yeah for me it's all about both the light angle and the shooting angle perspective, so I pay a lot of attention to both.

These photos are quite well done. Beautiful images of a beautiful species.

My favorite pond is part of a refuge that is under new management. It is now dry most of the year.

You 'own' that pond

Kristy............simply splendid my friend You know I love this type of shooting from you, I gotta think you are grinnin' ear to ear behind that viewfinder when you shoot these. What a setup buddy, smokin'! Love #2

Keep it going....
Karl


Thanks buddy. This is such a cool spot and I'm continually amazed that more shooters don't take advantage of it.
Yes, the grin is from ear to ear and usually stays there until I go to bed that night.
I do love it.

Great shots Kirk my friend! I can see how you position yourself to get the shots ... Do you have a mat or go dirty up like some of us? Those strained muscles at the neck and the back need deep-tissue massage ... All are awesome, but #3 is top for me with great eyes contact and the mud droplets.

Khai


Dirty all the way, all the time Khai.
As you know, the aches and pains are totally worth it. Thanks for the good words my friend.

Beauties, as usual, Kirk. Did I mention that we get neither AA's or Stilts around here?

Tony


Thanks Tony. Sorry about the lack of AA's and Stilts... but then again, I don't get any fully programmable Hummers.

Kirk, they look all great but the BG and water action in #2 makes that my favorite.
As a user of the same lens with 1.4TC I really appreciate you leave the exif intact. Thanks.

Thanks Chris... I love #2 also.
Glad you find the exif info helpful, I always enjoy seeing how others shoot too.
