It would be one of my favorites too if it was mine - almost completely monchromatic!

Like others have said, would be one of my favorites as well.
I have been particularly interested lately in shots of groups of birds (they are so difficult for a variety of reasons) and this one is a classic.

Nicely captured image, Steve. A very different image than what we normally see from Fort Desoto!!

Steve... I love the monochromatic feel to this avian ballerina image. Certainly worth the sand in your Gitzo! :)

Too funny Vince. You know, I'm still finding sand in my stuff, mainly my equipment belt, and it's been almost three months. First thing I had to do when I returned was take the Gitzo apart and clean out all the sand.:lol: :lol: :lol:
