Looks like he got your attention as well. The kids are just awed by him. Very good storytelling image.

Congrats on the award Shirley! Well done as always. I noticed you shoot these on film, are these all from your collection and just processed on PS? You must have been doing a lot of shooting :-)

Congratulations on the award (well deserved!) and the great news about your daughter! You better start looking for a stork to shoot.
PS. My wife reminded me of our trip to Reno this weekend - since it's a long weekend. I'm sorry I can't join you on Saturday. But I'm definitely up for shooting sometime.

Hi Dave - looks like you're on a roadshow. I like the colors of the yellow and rust. The two headlights and the smaller light make for a very good "threes" composition.

Hi Phil!
How are you!?! Hope all is well.
I have to agree with you, the brighter eye does help and somehow brings out a catchlight (I didn't have my strobe with me)!!! Thanks for the tip. I was planning on making a print and your tip certainly came at a perfect time. I was wondering what was lacking on this image and you just solved it for me!
THANK YOU!

Hi Ed,
High ISO certainly helped freeze the action.
I just noticed your shutter speed was at 1/4000 sec and the aperture was f8, yet you had blown out the white on his head. Typically happens when ISO is too high.
I saw your explanation, happens all the time to me as well if I've been doing indoor shooting and forget to "reset". Marcus' tip on this is to too shoot only at 400 ISO, I'm learning this also, trying to recover a noisy bird photo with Noise Ninja somehow removes the details from the feathers. I guess for birds, it's doesn't work too well. But as they say, practice makes perfect. Are these Eagles common at your location?

Lol, I guess he wasn't expecting to be the subject here. Very well seen and taken. Well composed, which is difficult in these situations since you never know who's going to walk in the frame or leave....

Well what do you expect this guy should do? He's telling you to leave him alone. Very good timing here. I have to agree, they're becoming my favorites, if only I can take as good an image....
That small photo you have must have been taken by a real pro.

Awesome shot Edward! I can imaging how hard it is to keep the exposure here - the white head is easily blown. Looks like you caught him in really bright light and high iso.

Wow, this is an extreme macro shot. Really sharp! Moving slightly to the left would have given a perfect view of that crownlike part of this magnolia and framed by the petals.

Excellent capture PEter! I can see how you'll need to do a shutter priority here. Dragon flies would be good in-flight subjects as well.
Was the camera handheld?

Hi, sorry for the really delayed response. I just used the camera's metering system and we were not pulled over - will definitely not do it again. Thanks for the message.

This is a very good image. The composition works well. Typically, bisecting an image with either a horizon or placing the subject on the center would be termed "against" photographic rules, but somehow this image breaks the rules and just works.

You're enjoying photography too much Chris. You've definitely moved on from nature and macro to bigger and better subjects (no pun intended).
I've not done any portrait photography myself, but I can say the lighting is very good, as I'm sure these were well set-up, it looks very natural. Well done.
