    Congratulations David!

    As most of you know, there is something special about sitting in a field and observing the natural world around you, and capturing a special moment with our cameras can extend that moment beyond our memories. Digital photography is wonderful.

    I wanted to say thank you to all the members here for there honest critiques and there genuine words of encouragement. Appreciated

    This is the best learning site I have found for photographers of all skill levels to better themselves and there work. I have learned a ton over the last year on this forum and it has helped me to be more aware of many aspects of photography that I either took for granted or wasnt aware of. Thanks again to everyone.

    I posted a shot of a sitting Drake Cinnamon Teal a few months ago and quite a few members responded that they haven't seen these ducks posted here to often. On that post I said that my goal was to try get a good in flight banking shot of a drake to show the beautiful colors of this species. Finally!

    Thanks as always for looking and for your input. Appreciated.

    David
