[James Shadle]

Congratulations Partner!!!
As a noted bird photographer(Artie Morris) once(OK maybe a thousand times)said "I would rather create an uncommon image of a common subject than a common image of an uncommon subject."

I agree with that statement and feel you have done just that.

What a background!

[Doug Brown]

Congrats on such a major milestone Al! You're one of the main reasons for BPN's incredible success. Lovely image with a perfect exposure.

[Axel Hildebrandt]

Congratulations on the milestone and great image for the occasion. Your work is much appreciated!

[Phil Ertel]

Hi Alfred, Congratulations on 20,000! Also I would like to take this opportunity to say how much I appreciate your efforts in helping us become better photographers. I think James comment on this image is spot on "create an uncommon image of a common subject". The pose, details, and colors are all very nice. I look forward to seeing many more.

Congratulations! That is one wicked bird, superbly captured.
It is simply amazing what you and this forum
