<p>Happy Wednesday. Just got on the computer, really busy morning. Great pictures from around the world. Mine is still a Michigan pic in the UP taken with my Nikon D300 Nikkor 18-70mm lens at 35mm.</p><div></div>

<p>Well, the early bird may catch the worm...but the late Wednesday thread contributor gets a LOT of cool images to look at.</p>

<p>Matt...Very nice. I love the tones and dof</p>

<p>Enrique...Poor guy...hope he finds his way home</p>

<p>Narayan...Marvelous! Unique and clever.</p>

<p>Roberta...Beautiful!</p>

<p>Sankha...Beautiful. I've always thought that pigeons were way underrated.</p>

<p>Epp...Awesome shot! Quite a story. It's gonna be a long day.</p>

<p>Greg...Starlings again? For such trouble makers, they sure are beautiful birds. Great shot. I am sure that they will be squabbling again before the day is through</p>

<p>Mikhail...Great rich shot...sensational light.</p>

<p>Juho...Beautiful. Love the sun stealing the moment.</p>

<p>Oskar...Perhaps my favorite. That pattern could not be anywhere but in nature. Amazing.</p>

<p>Glenn...Lovely...beautiful colors, great light. A most amazing animal.</p>

<p>Aguinaldo...Beautiful, colorful shot. Full of joy and life</p>

<p>Laura...Great capture...perfect timing!</p>

<p>Durukan...Really nice. It looks like her secret garden. I feel like I am intruding.</p>

<p>Bill...Gorgeous. Perfect capture of a very special place.</p>

<p>Here is my contribution from a recent shoot. My model is a librarian who needed some shots for this and that. This one was my idea at the end of the session...just for fun. She had such a warm personality and a great sense of humor...she just ran with it. One of my faves.</p><div></div>

<p>My contribution for the week. Needed a bigger lens but had to shoot before this little guy flew. Felt bad for him or her.</p><div></div>

[kris-bochenek]

<p>Lots and lots of great shots<br>

here is one from me.</p><div></div>

<p>So many wonderful pictures! My contribution this week is from last Friday. I took off the week for Mardi Gras and we ventured down to the French Quarter with the kiddies. This guy caught our eye in one of the shops on Decatur St. He looks as if he had way too much parade fun!<img src="http://catnranpix.smugmug.com/Other/New-Orleans/DSC0367/796491182_FoWEG-L.jpg" alt="" width="399" height="600" /></p>

<p>Hey Melissa, thanks for the flashback. I worked in Yellowstone a few summers, I was there in 88 with the big fires, the first place I ever went was Artist point. Just awesome.<br>

Haven't posted in a few weeks due to internet problems and busy busy problems. </p>

<p>Let's of action around the feeder during the recent snow storms. Should have plenty to shoot at Thurs/Fri with more impending storms in the NE.</p><div></div>

<p>Aloha, and Happy Wednesday<br>

My neighbors asked me if I would capture some images of their two month old son. I said I would be glad too, and I really had fun with the shoot. I did a simple conversion to black and white for a different look.</p><div></div>

[Rene11664880918]

<p>Finally I have time to post!<br /> Uhmmm! As expected! Great pictures everyone!<br /> Mine is a Daurian Redstart. I was driving when I saw the little orange thing flying around. I stopped my car and she was so nice to wait for me to get camera and lens ready.<br /> Thank you for looking!</p><div></div>

[greg_jones1]
