How did you hurt yourself. I fell in my home --slipped on a puddle from my swim suit -- and had a complete tear of the left supra-spinatus, one of...

Thanks Artie. I wondered if a bit brighter might help. Worth a try. I've been thinking about Nickerson all week, wishing I were there. ...

Okiedoke... I can do that, will work on it tomorrow morning and repost. Thanks Artie...

Another lovely rain shot. Bummer that the birds head is angled slightly away from us and from the line of its body. with love, artie

ps: do you remember if the wind was south or west or somewhere in between? pps: I know that dark green bush and I do not like it :) a

I did not think that I was gonna like this when I looked at the thumbnail because of the somewhat pancake view of the upper wing. But I was way...

Not surprisingly, I love the repost but you cropped some stuff from the bottom and it is now way too tight there. Unlike Randy, who made lots of...

ps: and the BKGR could use some Noise Reduction. a

I downloaded this one to execute a badly needed crop from behind (according to me) and to lighten the face. Image quality was somewhat disappointing....

I owned two 5D IV bodies when I used Canon and one 1DX Mark II. I rarely used the latter ... But sometimes you gotta ask yourself, "What the heck...

I am always reluctant to comment on images that look too dark as I suspect that my "calibrated" monitor is a bit too dark ... So I opened this one...

Please post a JPEG that shows the original image full frame. thanks with love, artie

Like this :) a

Ditto all of the positive comments above. I love the bird and the image. I would, however, suggest a small crop from the bottom just enough to...

That is wicked. What's it waiting for? My only wish is that the bird were angled ever-so-slightly toward us rather than angled ever-so-slightly...

Techs spot on and yes, a killer pose with the bottom bird. The whites work out great with the dark BKGR. IQ looks great -- maybe good enough to get...

I love gulls. The techs here are spot on. The head angle is perfect and I love the red eye skin. The image design seems a bit awkward to me with...

Nice. Love the calling pose. The bird looks as if it could go just a bit brighter on my monitor. What do others think? with love, arite ps:...

Bob, Thanks very much for your comments and suggestions. I wish I knew where everyone went. It was a lot more fun back then when the OOTB Forum...

Do like this one Jon,magnificent beast in it's snowy setting. Keith.

Hi Rachel, a lovely image with lots to like. The shooting angle is not the best but the eye contact and the light make up for the angle. Agree on a...

It's great to see her again, and what a beautiful calling pose, Bill. We had great overcast light to work with, and the subtly colors both on her and...

Thanks for commenting Dorian. But, it does not matter if the wing belonged to a (predatory) gull or an adult skimmer. Why? Adult skimmers routinely...

Good flight capture, Ann. I love the Nickerson vegetated dune background. Catching them bringing tiny fish to the nest is a challenge, and you...

For a "grab shot" and large crop, this is quite a lovely frame of this beautiful, tiny raptor. Good pose and beautiful background, and the overcast...

Unique look at this interesting bird.

Great action. Love the pose of the right-hand bird, and the breeding plumage.
