Thanks for the welcome Meives. Mmmm...explanation time. I've been reading this site for quite awhile, and I see the nastiness that sometimes erupts via troubled minds, and I don't choose to be a part of it. I simply give it the credit that is due by scrolling past those offending avatars. I agree with the snapshot comment. Mine lesser shots most often never even get to my computer for further processing, unless it is a one off and I will never have the opportunity to get another, better shot. I generally applaud most of what goes on here, as the comments can be very educational, so no, I won't leave for another site, many of which I already read, just on the basis I can't 'handle criticism'...I can, but simply choose not to indulge in a spitting contest where no one ever 'wins'...'nough said.

Welcome to the HOG. There are very few real negative members here. But there are some like myself that calls a spade a spade. If a picture is just a snapshot with no thought put in I often give suggestions. If you can't handle any criticism...there are other sites. David

Hey, J that's some bird you got there, anywhere near Duluth and Hawks Ridge. The spring migration has started. They have a web page that tells about events and other raptor stuff, plus an email updater on raptor counts. Some have described the good camera days as looking like an artillery esplanade. I'm down in Mpls.
Thanks for the welcome and the heads up on the migration. Yes, Wife and I have been to Hawk ridge for the migration and plan to return this spring or fall. It can be awesome at times to see those graceful birds in flight. BIF has not been my thing, but I have been practicing on crows. [A rather elusive, speedy and 'darty' target while in flight. And getting the lighting right is pretty daunting too.]
