Harlequin Male

[Bonnie Block]

:p The HAP will be after me on this one:D--but I had such great light and unbelievable color in the bg on this guy--who was not very cooperative--he just would not give me a head turn, and getting in front of him without pushing him out furthur was not working too well.

Wow, the difference in DOF between the forground and background gives this a great 3D effect.
Agree on your own HAP comment ;)
I'd keep it anyway :)

[Philip Lombard]

Very nice shot.

[Milo Burcham]

Looks very nice to me. This is a bird common in my area, but generally wary and I have almost nothing of them in my files. Great light, colors and exposure here. I'd take it!

[Harold Davis]

that bg really makes him POP!! nice one, bonnie.

[Grady Weed]

Bonnie your killing me with these Harley's! Close up here in Maine is 100 feet and they swim away at turbo speed. Go get them! Sweet photos, every one of them.

[Gus Cobos]
