I see an elephant stomping an anteater to death.
I really like her moving water scenes -- no phony satin treatment that
we never see in nature.
Do some research on the best month for your Iceland tour. We spent a week
there in March, and it was cloudy EVERY night -- never saw the lights!
Yep. If a 25 year old gal gets a tasteful tattoo of a small concord
grape on her left breast, by the time she's 70 it will be an eggplant.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, Rick. It's about time someone spoke to this
phenomenon of people gushing over obviously inferior photographs. To me,
it's akin to to 4H entries in a fair, where almost everyone gets a blue ribbon. It
denudes the value of earned praise and does nothing to improve growth in the art
of photography -- which I think should be a goal of this forum site.
I've been on six photo safaris to Africa, and the best tip I can
give you is to take a pillow case on your vehicle trips and use it
to cover your camera when not in use. I learned this from a safari
leader who had made tours for 23 years.
Definitely not a baby raccoon. Note the yellow front rodent teeth and long facial hair.

It's interesting to observe how cats have such unique personalities, like
the rest of us. All of ours over the years like playing hockey. I think we
underestimate their cognitive abilities: Leo learned to stand on his hind legs
to reach the doorknob and rotate it to enter our bedroom.
Yes, and a pessimist is seldom disppointed.
The second is my favorite, too. You made full use of your extraordinary good luck
with the weather. My four trips to Utah parks were always in cloudless weather.
(My worse luck with weather was a week in Iceland to photograph the northern
lights -- it was cloudy every night!)
These are certainly different from the cottonwoods we have here in Eastern WA state.
I have used the 5DS R with the 100mm -- 400mm II for several years, and
not is a great combination for most everything except closeups. Great resolution.
One of the things most notable is the surprisingly loud whistle, or
shriek, they make. When you hear that, you know you are in the high country.
Two major things I've learned in six trips to Africa, including several photo
safaris, are: (1) Don't waste your time and space taking a tripod unless you're
doing landscape photography; (2) take a pillowcase to cover your camera on
dusty vehicle trips.
