    Default I'm Not Done With the Snowies Yet

    Caught this guy as he was just about to launch. Once he flew, it was clip city for me (as this was most of full frame)!

    Doug, love the grasses, the general color palette, and the takeoff. What's with the tripod? So lame

    Doug, you snowy rascal, this is one beautiful picture. Charming and full of verve and va-va-voom. Lovely IQ and color and details, too. Huzzah, etc.

    Thanks Daniel! I was lucky with the habitat. I should mention that there's no cloning in this image.

    Another beauty. This one may be my favorite because of the habitat. Keep 'em coming. Tripod?

    Super pose and awesome environment. His stare really works here. Didn't believe it when I saw Artie mentioned the tripod. Had to go back and read your post to make sure it was true! :)
