cute, and looking at the ground around you, you are probably doing some good too.

And congrats for another great third place!

Congrats for your third place, Outbackjack!

hope I never get lost there...

I see noise too. It's still a pretty impressive photo.

mmmmmm... lamb chops

I'd steal the props too.

looks like an egret

Beautiful colors.

Wonderful shot. Fits the theme well.

love it

nice DOF

Lovely shot, and you better start raining your hubby.

i agree with nator!

Very nice one. Good luck!

The cat doesn't really seem like he's coming out of the dark. It's just a dark image.

It's a cattle egret

Great shot - In the morning, I feel how they look! The high res shows a lot of noise and blown out high lights around the eyes/lips therefore loss of detail.

I love these little guys! What were your settings for this shot? there is a fair bit of noise in the sky, sky is always good for showing up noise. Also I'd probably suggest using a tripod or upping the speed as you can see ablur around the tops of the beaks and and outline around the far left bird. At first I thought it might be oversharpening, but I find I often have similar problem using my kit lens at the longest end of the telephoto.

No clue on what type of bird but good shot!

Nice shot!
