SO much talent on here.... whenever I show people my work in person, I always get the whole "why don't you do this for a living..." and then I'm simply unable to articulate that my work is avg/above average compared to most on here, which is what inspires me to be better!

Primo shot of the black-crowned night heron, Shalu. The perch is cool looking and the background is really nice.

Whoa, what an outstanding green heron shot, Shalu. I love his pose.

Hi Ted...

Beautiful photograph and a unique moment you've captured. Your work always has such uncluttered backgrounds which sets off your subjects wonderfully.

Tom

Thanks Tom.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.
