I like Pied Kingfisher (nicely composed, and an unusual perspective for a BIF shot) and Takeoff. Rick http://photo.net/photos/RickW On Wed, Oct 1, 2014 at 5:38 PM, Ben Price ben.wills.pr...@gmail.com wrote: Hi folks, I don’t often post, but I do enjoy the images shared and discussions on

Hi Ben - Superb work all around. My two favs are Take Off and Whacha looking at? I noth those both appear to be studio shots, so if the competition puts an emphasis on in the field / behavioral shots I'd go for Rebirth and Theif. Good luck! Mark On 10/1/2014 5:38 PM, Ben Price wrote: Hi

Hi Ben, Stunning photos - at just the first glance you can see there's a professional taking pictures of his subject. Just superb, all of them. It's difficult to compare from the index page when they are different sizes - my instinct is to favour the larger photos, which does not do the others

All nicely done photos, Ben. I like the BW of the beetle most. I have no real input towards what makes a winning image in this category, however. It's too far out of my photographic oeuvre. Godfrey On Oct 1, 2014, at 2:38 PM, Ben Price ben.wills.pr...@gmail.com wrote: I don’t often post,

Hi Ben: Overall, wonderful work. Greatly enjoyed the set. My three picks are Take Off, Hello, and Whatchalooking at? Of those three, I think Take Off and Hello are my favorites. Good luck with the competition!!! Cheers, Christine On Oct 1, 2014, at 4:38 PM, Ben Price

Pied Kingfisher is the clear winner of the group, IMHO. What a dynamic shot! Takeoff would be my 2nd choice, but Whatcha looking at? is a close third. A superb gallery. I'd be thrilled to have taken any ONE of them. On Wed, Oct 1, 2014 at 11:06 PM, Christine Aguila christ...@caguila.com wrote:
