Very nice shot, Shalu. At that distance your dof is sure restricted.

Thank you, Mike! I kind of like the shallow DOF here.

Paul, those little duckling are so cute. I sure like their stripped jail outfits.
Nice shots.

Thanks Mike.
They're awesome little Jail-Birds.

I agree...the dof is great in this shot, Shalu. It separates the subject from the background very nicely. This shot is really well done.

What an interesting photo, Vassilis. I've never seen or even heard of this species.

Looks like a cross between a Northern Flicker, Killdeer, & some sorta hummer.

Very nice!!!
