Those are fabulous Diane. You are really making that camera dance! The eye is sooo sharp in that first "bad hair day" image. ++Ken++

Thanks to the three of you----really glad you enjoy the pix.

Ken, the eye, yes I always hear the eye is most important and sometimes I get lucky. :biggrin:

Diane I had that "eye" thing drilled into me by several professional nature photographers years ago and never forgot it. When there's time and opportunity I actually try to focus right on the eye, I am convinced it makes a more dramatic and interesting image. Something about how our brain works...anyway love your photos. Are you in Asuncion? ++Ken++

Now, it would be much easier to focus on the eye if we could just convince birds and other animals to HOLD STILL. :biggrin:

Yes, we are in Asuncion right now and for the first time, we have internet at our house---wireless from the Internet Cafe and thanks to some really nice neighbors who have allowed a repeater on their roof.

Just returned from town and there was a big old Raven sitting on a pole in our yard---I tried to get the camera because he was posed well for a good close up and I really want to be able to capture some good pix of black birds----they and all white birds are a real challenge.

When do we get to see more of your underwater trips?

I miss them a lot.

Diane

Thanks for that Diane. I still do a dive in Morro Bay at least once a month now but unless I find something really unusual I usually don't post here. The last "major" trip I did was in July to play with sand tiger sharks on the North Carolina shipwrecks (bucket list thing), I think I already posted this one here, but they are so magnificent....what the heck:

You can't plan something as good as that Ken. It has to be your daughter's all time favorite too. What an experience and you captured the moment!
