Hi ...I'm new here:D ....I've been shooting so much sports that the only time I get to shoot nature is a few minutes on the way home, few minutes at home & a few hours sunday morning. I have not even had much time to look at anybody elses great shots. Here is a couple that I took though.

Wood ducks.....heavy crop

the nesting box is tilted..I have not straighted it out because the horizon then is crooked.:dunno

White crowened sparrow... my book says they are not in this area:dunno
it's a bit soft..I just have not gotten the hang of my sigma 200mm 2.8 & I'm starting to think that it is not me but the lens.:dunno

that's all I've been able to get in 2 or 3 weeks other than these Bulldogs,
I guess that's not so bad though ..the school asked me to shoot football next year too.

The colors are so good and the detail so fine with those wood ducks that they look like decoys! Wow.

The bath shot with the water droplets is also very good.
