Nicely done - very sharp especially as this wasn't taken with the latest body or best glass

Happens to all of us once in a while. If we are really unlucky, though, it happens on our first few shots and suddenly we think we are pro photographers. How quickly we learn otherwise

Oh yeah! I really really try to think out the image, every image, see something and have a grand design about the image, then it's time for reality.
I feel really good about getting one out of a hundred shots that speaks to me about what i saw.

So thats what those birds are! Thanks for posting, I was wondering what these are, I see them a good bit here and never had seen one before back in Alabama.

I love heading west and never believe I am there until I see a magpie. Thanks for letting me see this one. Nice catch light in the eye too.
