Great captures, Mike. Second one really shows his feelings well.

Excellant series of shots. Where is the San Luis NWR? Somewhere in the Central Valley?

I think that I like the second shot best Mike. I'd suggest trying to clone out the fence in 1 & 2 as its distracting.

West of Merced. North of Los Banos.

I was going to clone it out, but I got lazy. :oops: If I print these out, I'll definately clone out the fence as I've done in the past. :D

Thanks for looking everybody!

I think all 3 shots should have been landscape orientation.

They all were originally, but I felt the two I did in portrait looked better. :D

Hello All,
