But your pictures are extraordinary!

The first is an incredible action shot.

The second one shows a crazy juxtaposition.

The third is just plain beautiful, and thanks for the caption!

The last is amazing, clear, bright and unusual.

All of them are extraordinary!

that much better taking the shots though I am getting faster. I also always have my camera with me.
LOL, what I am getting better at is editing and seeing with a different eye.
The Egret shots are a perfect example. When I first looked at them I thought there was nothing there. When I went back today and decided to edit them I played around and the background started getting black. I loved it and darkened it further and that's how those came about.

Editing is also crucial and so is seeing with a different eye.

Well done!
