Lots of goodies in this set, Kirk

Images look all properly exposed and show a beautiful isolation of the subjects, a pleasing clarity and sharpness. Well done!

Even on my crappy work monitor these are truly standouts buddy

Really glad to see you doing what you love to do again

You really have a way with the flying 'shovels' these are sweet Mr Kirkster! Nice display on the Bufflehead, Wonderful Willet, Good eye from the Gull and Sharp and sweet light on the Shin...........

I am glad you and your wife are happy to show your 'Buttes' too

Gosh that is amazing territory! Just Butte-E-full my friend!

Karl

So good to be back in the saddle again. Like I told Eric, I'm transitioning from Nikon's editing software to Photoshop CC, and I'm finally able to get the results I'm happy with, but there is still much to learn.

Thanks for the very kind words buddy, and glad you enjoyed our Buttes.

Kirk, great to see you out and about and getting such fine shots.
That Sharpie is a BIG bonus a rarity around are area, good shooting my friend

-Tim

Thanks Tim! I was fortunate the Sharpie didn't spook as I slowly turned and raised the camera, I think I managed three clicks before he took off. Great job on your Sunday shoot, you got several good Teal shots that I didn't.

Excellent work Mr B! The birdies are marvelous, so nice and crisp with a super bokeh. You have that long glass singing. I know what you mean about not being able to get out, I'm still in that rut

I shared your MV shots with my other half when you posted them originally. It's on our list

Love your work my friend.

loved the wing position and the snow on the buttes. Monument valley is one of my favorite location in the west.
thanks for sharing, kirk

Thanks for the very kind words.

We love the MV area and were so fortunate to be there on two beautiful days with very different conditions.

You excel both at wildlife and landscape photography.

Thanks so much Harsha, I really appreciate your very gracious words.

I've finally learned PS CC well enough to get the results I'm happy with on my images. Thanks for your help.

Well D, you certainly have lots of skills to apply to things that move and to those that don't. Excellent work as always.

Nice variety and nice images Kirk. That sharp-shinned is great. Had one last winter hanging around our bird feeders on the porch. I'd hear a thump on our door window as his momentum carried him into the window. As he flew down to our yard to eat it I'd to see it with a woodpecker in his talons. It favored woodpeckers for some reason.

Thanks Tim, really appreciate it buddy. I have pretty much ditched shooting with the TC attached to get to 700mm. The IQ just doesn't satisfy me, and the 36MP sensor on the D810 allows for really good IQ even when cropped. I hope you're able to get out of the rut soon but sometimes it's not that simple. You guys would love a roadtrip thru Zion, Bryce, MV, Grand Canyon. Be well my friend.
