Wonderful shots Doug! #1 I agree that the thorny branch is a bit distracting, but I love the web and the drops. #2 is great. Very unusual. I like what Kort did. It evens it out a bit. With a shot like this, it doesn't really matter if you know what it is, it just have an awsome look with all those reflections. #3 has beatufiul colors, but it is a little muddled or something. Not sure, it's just not one of your best. #4 looks great. Everything is nice and clear with great contrast. I could see her taking a dunk too so it gets the imagination going. :) @ Andreas....my legs bend like that too, but I control it now because it does look weird. lol #5 is really cute. I just love little bird shots, but again, not one of your best. #6 I think is adorable. The eye is a little dark, but I didn't really notice until it was pointed out. I was mainly focusing on the detailed feathers. I like it that close. Well, I wasn't going to go into detail, but I couldn't help it. Great shots all around though. I may have to steal this idea again too. I have some questionable images just sitting here. :)
