Hi :)

[Gloria Hopkins]

I'm Gloria. An old friend of Arthur's, (and I'm using his 400mm!) and I admit to not knowing many other bird photographers.

I'm a composition fanatic, and admittedly wanted to show off what is my very best comp to date. I flat-out love this one, and love this bird. Never photographed a Cardinal before. And, I'm sorry to be so forward but please, no PS critiques (lost on me ...). Just wanted to show-off this gorgeous little bird :)

Hi Gloria ,
BIg welcome to BPN and looking forward to see your image

[James Shadle]

Welcome (first public welcome anyway;))

Not to worry, this is not a critique forum!

Personally, I like your centered composition of a Grebe at Wako a little better.

Look forward to seeing your images and comments.

It's great to have you here Gloria! I have to say I'm a fan of the centered Grebe image :)

Well, your Photoshop technique could use a little blah blah blah haha

Lookin' forward to more.
