Pretty birds, I don't tire of seeing images of them. Nice shot, Alan, all the technicals look good and nice positioning in the frame. But I don't know about keeping up with Anthony ...

Excellent shot!! I like how it looks like you're slightly above him.

Another fine Bosque image from your film.

The scan and PS work do justice to a very nice image. I like the blue sky BG in particular.

I agree...and to make such a great image with such ancient technology to boot!

Alan,

Very nice flight shot. Excellent wing position and placed well in the frame.

I missed this before. Are you picking on me?

I think my one month series is turning into a 3 month one.

This is very nice. I'd be happy with this. I probably should look around since I'm sure I can find one that looks very similar to this.

Tony

Not at all! Just envious. Since I'm the token film user here if I'd shot 15K images at Bosque it would have cost me a lot more than your new D2H cost you. I just figured I could come up with one more flight image to keep pace one more day. I am looking forward to the rest of your series.
