Hey, this is a treat to have you back!!!!!! I had asked Nancy E. about you, you are very much missed.
Nice pose on this breeding colors beauty, love the riased foot and arrow like head.

Don't be a stranger now :)

[Harry Behret]

Thanks Fabs. It always great to drop in here at the best photography forum on the web. I've been so busy with non-photogaphy activities, family, travel, and modding on another forum that there never seems to be time.

Hello Harry,

Verry nice shot,I like the exposure, Great BG well composed and great light

[Steve Maxson]

Love the intensity of the hunting pose. Good sharpness and a nice background. Looks like a hot spot on it's flank that you might try to tone down. Otherwise, well done.

[Harry Behret]

Thanks Steve. The hotspot doesn't show on the histogram but since you pointed it out it does look a tad hot. I will revisit that image tomorrow and give it a much closer look.

Great stalking pose! How is the activity at MINWR?

[Harry Behret]

HI Jim,

Thanks for taking the time to respond. MINWR has been much better this year than in the prior two years. Most of the activity I've seen has been in the last half of Blackpoint Dr as opposed to the past when the first half had been much more active.

Its still a bit of hit and miss. On a number of days I got nothing on my first go around and then on the second it was a completely different story. Viera still provides more consistant photo ops.

Absolutely love the angle and pose you have here. Would give it just a TAD of CW rotation. Stunnings colors!
