<p>Not sure what species this guy is, but he sure loves my Azaleas. D3s & 28-70 AFS F2.8D handheld. My excuse for the blurriness. </p><div></div>

Thanks for the comment Pascal, I really like your image. Makes me wonder, "what's around that corner?" Very nice.

<p>Matt -- I love your dog shots. I've got an upcoming shoot of a beagle for a calendar, and I just perused your gallery for inspiration.</p>

<p>Shash -- the sense of depth in your flower photograph is fantastic.</p>

<p>Tony -- I didn't think HDR off the bat, I just thought "low contrast, no blacks". Had you not mentioned it, I don't think I'd have gotten to HDR. I love the late afternoon ducks, it looks like they're struggling upriver towards the light, helped by the fact that the trees on the far bank appear to be leaning towards the right.</p>

<p>Roberta -- the butterfly photographs are amazing, especially the second and third, which are comparatively uncommon views.</p>

<p>Gary -- the backstory on your "table for one" series is quite moving and that particular photograph is quite emotive as a result. A series of them would make a moving show.</p>

<p>And thank you to Roberta and Young James for the guesses on my abstract fireworks -- yes, I shot straight down at the river below, inspired by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mark_sirota/sets/72157633889675008/">photos of the same show back in May, from the same location with a fisheye</a>. I went from 16mm to 180mm to capture the detail.</p>

<p>Here's a better shot of the juvenile Green Heron identified on this forum a week or so ago. This was taken at my office in Pataskala, Ohio last Saturday looking out through the back door. Hand held. Thanks to everyone that identified the critter.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday everybody, couldn't post yesterday. Here's a shot from the Truck Nationals. Some rain and clouds spoiling things, I used D200, ISO-400, 18-55 kit, SB24 -1 stop fill.</p><div></div>
