A delightful and impressive set Jess. Each is a bit of a different take on how to see birds. Well seen and presented. #1 is my fave of the group.

Jess,
I really like the huge variety in composition that you've presented. The details in the first shot super… I can just let myself get lost in the patterns. Your rendition of the laughing gulls is a very refreshing shot… super perspective.

Had to add this postscript, as I just visited your website. You have a very unique vision, the work really challenges accepted paradigms and norms in nature photography. I really enjoy the risks you take with your compositions!

regards,
bruce

Hey Jess...some nice looking shots...but what in the world are you doing way down in Texas..Love that Great Horned Owl shot, but I'd be a little afraid of what might be raining down on my lens in that last shot.

They are all very appealing in their own way but if cornered I pick #3 as favorite.
Fabulous images, Jess.

Lovely set, Jess; as others have said, it's fun to see refreshing new ways to present boring birds!

My favorite is the laughing gulls...lovely interplay of colors and actions. ~Greg
