I thought it appropriate that my first post here was one taken on Gregs workshop in Bosque last year. I was trying to learn how to shoot birds in flight. I liked this one so much that I made it into a business card. I hope you enjoy it too even though parts of the bird are missing (That was my intent here).

This is sweet. I really like the crop, and everything looks well exposed and sharp to me.

Trying to learn or trying to show up the instructor? I think the latter! What an awesome shot! Thanks for being here!

I like the "L" shape of the composition. Absolutely perfect for a business card, great frame for the printing on the blue sky. I can't wait for Bosque again this year!

Very nice Cheryl. I tried to get something like this at Bosque but didn't get any closeup flight shots that were one-tenth this good. Sharpness and light are great.

I can see how that would be great for a business card - a different type of composition that works really well.

I like this all around; but from now on, it's that black cocktail dress and your rig that will come to mind when I see your name on a business card! :D :D
