This shot's a winner, Ed! To me, it is quite spectacular! I love the composition. The massive size of the tree is amazing.

Splendid capture, Ed! Very nicely composed!

Pipan, this is really a nice capture of the Mr. and Mrs. Brolgas (or would it be Brolgases?). Nice sharp focus on the Mr. Brolgas.

Thanks LD, I might have confused the issue. One Brolga, two Brolgas.

Ha, ha...I think maybe too many water birds, hammer. But that's practically all I've been shooting lately. Water birds have always been my favorites.
