You have so many gorgeous photos on your site. The colors, the compositions, they are all so interesting.

However, I have to confess I've fallen in love with this photo over all others.

Regardless of how many birds are around, it's not easy getting shots like this. This photo is nicely centered, the background colors set this gull off perfectly and you have a bird as your main focus - what's not to like? He almost seems to be asking, do you have a chip for me? And I almost feel like tossing him one. Though perhaps it would stick to my LCD screen. :-)

Love it. Thanks again for a wonderful photo album and taking the time to share your visions with others.

I saw this bird and immediately knew it was a honeyeater of some sort. The yellow bill and legs made me think of Noisy Miner - but it's not quite right so far as plumage goes.

I think you have a Yellow Throated Miner here. See:

Gorgeous bird!

Thanks for sharing,

I believe this beauty is an Incan Tern.

A view into the more private lives of penguins. At the Baltimore Aquarium in the US, they have a puffin exhibit where you can see the puffins and razorbills swimming underwater. Fascinating.

Is this a little blue?

I swore I wasn't going to comment on another photograph in your gallery - but I cannot help myself.

You photos are so beautiful they are literally moving me to tears - from their beauty. Perfectly in focus, energetic with movement, lighting, composition - all of it is amazing. I could look at this photo for hours and never bore of it.

I'm in AWE - and I need to go get a tissue.

I can barely tell which. I suppose it's BOTH! This pose is almost too good to be true.

Another jaw dropping shot.

I've been taking a few moments to view your photos. All are magnificent but this one - WOW! What an amazing action shot of a bird perfectly in focus. The background is balanced in color and texture. Lighting is amazing. I love the way the gray of the sky is reflected in the wing primaries. And of course the cardinal himself adds that punch of color that pulls your eye in again and again. Kudos!

Thanks for the smile on my face this morning.

Oh I also liked the yawning snowy owl. Number one for personality. Such boring business this finding of your next meal. I feel the same way about shopping too - LOL.
