Dennis, welcome to NSN! Very nice first post. I have to get up and see these guys sometime. A tad busy but well framed given the circumstances.

Dennis -

This is great. One of the best GGs from Minnesota that I've seen so far. Both the setting and the pose are awesome.
Nice first post!

I love these owls and this image is great. The bird is so sharp and well lit, that the BG is no problem for me

Welcome. Very nice - the detail is great and he even floows the line of the branch behind him. Nice job.

I love the very natural appearance of the bird as it is caught in the act of grooming and the cloudy setting. Welcome to NSN and hope to see many more of your images.
