I'm in Florida...these pics capture the essence of the state wonderfully! Did these birds know to pose? :mrgreen:
Nice work!

Some NICE images! #2 and #5 do it for me! I think you ought to raise sat a little in #1 to match #2. #2 has a bit more color.

Number four has a lot of charm.

I'd vote for 2 and 5 also.. with #1 close behind.. Nice shots!

 

[jedirunner]

All are nice shots. I definitely vote for #2. #4 for me is close behind it.

Beautiful work here Matthew, really like your low angle on the first one. Hope you enjoyed your trip to Florida.

#2 is my favorite, by a wide margin; that's just a beautiful shot of a beautiful bird.
The last two shots, of the willet, are my next choices.

Dragonflys - super telephoto for macro?, "ok" with the d800 and a lens with VR, taken from F14-F18, still not enough DOF

#7: WOW!! Yeah, that'd be on my wall, if I'd taken it.

#8 is a Forster's Tern, #9 is a Glossy Ibis; both pretty cool, but I like the tern the best. What is #10, do you know?

I'm always late to comment, so will just echo what the others have said and pick the glossy Ibis as a favorite,because It's the first I've seen other than in bird ID books.
