<p>Thanks to those who commented about my submission. The quality of the photographs in this thread are outstanding! Here are some that really caught my eye, but by no means are the only ones:</p>

<p>Matt Laur - great action capture<br>

Lil Judd - the story and capture combine to make this one very powerful<br>

Scott Pogorelc - this one really speaks to me<br>

Jose Angel - there is something about the lighting in this one that draws me in<br>

Shun Chueng - love it<br>

Alejandro Held - great use of shutter speed to blur the feet<br>

Waldemar Giers - very nice, I like this one a lot</p>

<p>There are so many great shots here, it's hard not to miss someone. Looking forward to participating again.</p>

<p>Paula Nice Pelican. I'm glad you shared your pic also. Great color and sharpness. Its amazing how many different color Pelicans there are. How close were you. I was only about 8' away.</p>

[p. wang]

<p >Thanks Rick. I was using a 300mm prime lens and I was very close to the bird. I had to step back a few feet. I think I was about 7’-8’ as well. He/she was so camera shy but stayed and posed for me.</p>

<p>Flowers, trees and bumble bees<br>

And old wooden fences and sheep in the breeze<br>

Dogs chasing birds, and butterfly wings<br>

Cats and horses, children looking for things<br>

Wheelchairs, planes, cars and carts<br>
