I like these all a great deal. My fave is the second one. The composition strikes me as very strong; just the big rock and the bird. Nice and simple, the bird doesn't "get lost" in all sorts of background junk, yet the rock is sufficiently interesting that it adds to the overall shot. #1 is very good, but maybe just a bit "too spare", at least in comparision to #2. Similarly, #3 is a terrific shot; I like the idea of getting more of the environment in there (it's gorgeous land, BTW), but the bird kind of gets lost in there, at least to me. Still, a very strong photo. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
