Sure looks like a falcon. Do you know what kind of hybrid?

Hey, Todd, nicely done. I really like the high key background, a little unusual.

What a great title, creative viewpoint and balance. I think I would have cloned out the jet contrail in the sky, though it does direct the viewer's eye back to home.

I'm not normally a gambling man but I won $200 on a superbowl ticket yesterday, for a 14-6 guess on the first quarter score. Except I had to buy 50 for my kid's hockey team, to win one. Go, Bears!

The sequence of photos add a lot to this one. Still photography somehow disappoints when there is dramatic action like this. Nicely composed.

Feels a little washed out on my moniter. I adjusted levels, curves, straightened horizon, cropped, adjusted perspective a hair, and sharpened. ?Better?

Eyecatching, frame-filling, wide angle image. Excellent foreground anchor, with a grumbling sky to cap it off. Well done.

What saves this image is the priceless expression, and of course your close cropping. Your subject is clearly a winner, but I bet you are not completely happy with the focus. I'm not sure why focus is soft, as your shutter speed was adequate. I'm also unclear why you chose f19, approaching a diffraction limit as well. Were you inside the minimum focus distance? I see you have studio lights. Did you use flash to light the subject as well as the background?

Thankyou, guys. This was a bit of a fluke but I am happy with it. You wouldn't usually use this kind of long lens for a portrait but I noticed that he was in good light with that active expression. Dogs can be a little hard to control and when I am closer they get too rambunctious. Cheers.

Strangely, those jet contrails in the sky help direct the viewer's eye toward distant buildings. Excellent front to back sharpness, you must have focused on the foreground. Well done.

Excellent sharpness and lighting. We have a lot of 'ex pat' South Africans living here in Canada. One day I asked one of them what he missed the most about his country. He replied, 'the birds, their morning noises'. Really good portfolio.

Even more interesting with you not adding an 'about' explanation. Presumably a plant, protecting itself genetically, the best it can.

Looks more like a bobcat or lynx, with the short tail and pointed ears. Interesting to see something living a natural life, not the 'canned tuna' existence of a subservient species. Really good image.

Brilliant waxing gibbus moon, Ron. When I saw the Tychos crater at 6:00, I knew that we had to be at the same latitude. You may be surprised to discover that this shot will be better than a full moon image, as side lighting gives a better feel for the depth of those distant craters.
Cheers.

Looks like it was snowing when you took the pic. So, is crater lake a remnant of an impact crater from a meteorite?
