Beautifully done shots, Stephen! Terrific sharpness!

Exceptional shot, Bill! Great pose.


Well, that's a genuine bull rider, Joe.:-P Very nice capture. These guys have a cool symbiotic relationship. Cattle egrets follow and eat all the various bugs and insects that cattle find annoying. The cattle don't mind the egrets riding on them at all. Both benefit from this relationship. I think it's pretty cool.

Well how true is that, I think you coined a new name for the Cattle Egret "The genuine Bull Rider" Thanks Mike ;-)a;-)a;-)a

Stunning portrait shot of this beautiful magpie, Richard! I love the colors of the lichens and mosses on the wood fence. They surely add to the overall appeal of this image.

Lovely shot, Rob! The hummer is nicely separated from your blurred background. That's what's so nice about shooting at an f/4.

Green Rosella ~ Platycercus caledonicus

They are beautiful birds with a lovely call, and being parrots quite entertaining at times

My goodness, Richard...what a lovely shot! Like you said, This green rosella is truly a gorgeous bird. You certainly photographed it nicely.

These are both superb images, Mike! For being such an extreme shot, I'm truly amazed at how sharp and clear the second image is.
