On Cooper's Hawk In Bush in the Birds Of Prey Part Two : Raptors At Rest [ *NO Owls ] challenge (7 comments in total)

Definitely reminds me of a Cooper's Hawk venue. They are very sneaky and always looking in the undergrowth. One of my top three.

On Perfect landing in the Wild birds, no other restrictions challenge (4 comments in total)

Perfect reflection, exposure & detail. I think I'd clone out that little dust spot on the upper edge of the bird's left wing.

This is about as good as it gets for wild bird photography. Congratulations on a high finish. Is that native to your country?

Nice shootin!

If a photo fits the challenge, I see no issue with entering it multiple times. In fact, my wife gave me a book on photo challenges and one of the suggestions was to keep entering the same photo if it does well. Why do you see this as a problem?

On Nine little Mallards all in a row in the NON-Mammal Parents and Progeny [ Rules below, they are there to be read and complied with ;) ]. challenge (2 comments in total)

Thanks kladner. I followed them around for about 10 minutes. Mom, although trusting, kept her eye firmly fixed on me the entire time. It was a funny scene - ten of them walking down the middle of the 7th fairway. All golf was halted for a few minutes ;-)

Looks like others didn't agree, but you image has great color and composition. Very nice light too.

On Mesa Arch Sunrise in the High IQ landscapes, number 3 challenge (16 comments in total)

Beautiful color and perfect exposure. Clearly a lot of thought and hard work went into the making of this image. I do have one criticism. I'm pretty sure it needs leveling. The small mesa to the lower right of the sun just doesn't look vertically correct to me.

Regardless, it an easy pick as #1. Great shooting.

On Snowstorm in the Winter in the city challenge (2 comments in total)

Hard to believe 1st & 2nd place photos both involved bicycles - my favorite mode of transportation. However, I don't think I could deal with that sort of weather on a bike.

Congrats! Nice shootin!
