Anywho, in between the rain I did get a few shots!

Number 1 is not blown... I did notice the reflection lines from the soft waves... it tells me you used your flash but it does look natural. All of these are favorite birds I love to shoot. You did a good job on all of them. Next time you drift this way I buy lunch - you tell Don he is invited too... :woohoo: :thumbsup:

Thanks so much! I did use the flash on all of these. I am assuming the lines across the Ibis were created by my flash since this was shot in the Dora Canal?

I looked for you tho. Hopefully something can be planned in the future so we can meet you and Mrs. Santa!! :woohoo:

Whites are not blown out (to me). I like the simplicity of the photo and that it's sort of limited to certain shades of color. I like the large log in the top and the reflection is perfect.
