Nice set Ben. :thumb I can't believe you cut off the wing!!!!:hung

I've only done that a few hundred times myself. :rofl I loved the seal shots (they don't have wings to cut off you know:D ).

Nice work. :clap

[Khaos]

I like that double shot too.:thumb

[Dee]

Good job! Now that will encourage you to go shoot some more :): :): :):

But those adorable little sea lions! Wow, you were lucky there, they came out great, where were you? It looks like you were in the water yourself!

[jwear]

good thing you had those seals to make up for clipping his wing :D :rofl

Looks like you had a great day Ben. I enjoyed your series. We are 13 miles inland and a pelican was sitting on my neighbors roof once day! Poor thing looked lost, so we called the a.services. to take him back to the beach.

Good ones Ben :thumb :thumb


Love those seals. Great exposure :clap :clap


:huh You cut off that poor pelican's wing :rolleyes What a rookie. :lol As Harry points out, most of us have hundreds (if not more) shots of birds with less than 2 wings....LOL Between these and bird butt shots, I could fill a 100gb drive :dunno
