Lovely shots. Number four is just beautiful. Not quite sure what that eyeball is saying, but it's a "look" for sure.

Super shots Mao, I love the heads on these birds. Great action and detail in these images. The water and BG colors are outstanding!

Great stuff for an old guy who's knees don't work any more. :) You already heard from me that #1 should be on your office wall. You may as well print #6 while you're at it.

Thanks Kraig. Nope, just playing. They swam beside each other shortly after.

Thanks db. Wish they would fly closer, we've been there three times and never close enough for flight shots.

Thanks Steve. We have a male that has been coming back to a river the last three years but water/background is tough there. I like this spot because of all the reflections of the leaves in the water.
