Burning My 6,000th post with BIF.... Osprey & Heron

[kundalini]

First off...... this past weekend of camping was ladened with copious amounts of alcohol consumption. So early morning shots were coupled with the 'brick in the head & hairy tounge' syndrome, afternoon shots were taken with 'hair of the dog' remedy and night shots were of the 'here we go again' strategy.

Heyyyy, congrats on the 6,000 post milestone!!!

I love it when the osprey turns and looks directly at you with those spooky eyes, and its wings nicely placed (#3 and 6). My fave heron shot is #7 (but it needs to 'pop' a bit more. Curves? Shadow/highlights?) And that sunset is gorgeous... LOVE those clouds

#3 is my favorite. Nice pictures.

I really like The Here We Go Again one (#11) Great colors and clouds are beautiful. Plus here we go again can be FUN :cheers:

I really do need to check my threads more often.

Thanks Wyjid, Chris, Crazydad, plasti, Anty, Kethaneni & dl4449. Your kind words are much appreciated.

It's possible, but I really don't remember. The tequila was at a steady flow that weekend.
