Hi Everyone,
I thought that the South Florida Brigade might recognize this fellow:D. He and his family lived in the ficus tree in our yard when we lived in Boca Raton. He even survived Hurricane Wilma by clinging to a branch!! We got to know him very well and I must tell you that he is the reason that I got into photography. We called him Dave and I really miss him....
I took this about 18 months ago with my Canon Powershot - in the pre DSLR days - it is really a great little camera! I got to know and love South Florida's wildlife using this.
Look forward to your c & c's.
Best rgards to all,
Nicki

Harold, it's a shame we never met - or perhaps we did without realizing - Wakodahatchee rocks!!!

High impact Nicki Sure wish you could have pointed the camera down and left when you made the picture !!! Love having a little more room to the left and avoid the dark area up top !!!

Love the fine detail and exposure !!! Very fine image !!!!

Nikkie,
This is a sweet image. I like the color and the sharpness of this image. Good job.

Sharp, sharp, sharp !! You could open up the top dark right hand corner a bit though.

Desmond, this totally spoils the character of the picture - it's meant to be moody, not overexposed!!!

Sorry, sorry, sorry! My bad. My apologies ! I simply meant to open up the darkness a bit. I guess I over-did it :o

I'll remove it right away !

I love this as is, especially the COMP and the dramatic side light. (I rarely like side light...)
