This is my first contribution to the cr forum. I have been admiring all of your works for some time and have finally decided to share a few of my own.

Glad that you decided to share this lovely pic. Like it very much.

The place where this owl (Asio flammeus) was photographed, is a top spot location in Belgium for nature photographers. Every winter, a few owls hunt for mice in the same field.

This is a tiny Sun Bird (about the size of an index finger) one of the 3 that came down form the nearby hills during the intense monsoon rains in (Jul 2012) ... came to to my front yard to feed on some fresh nectar from the budding flowers.

Prairie falcon, photographed at the Raptor Free Flight demonstration, Sonoran Desert Museum near Tucson, Az. Canon 5D mark iii, 70-200 f4 L IS, image cropped and (obviously) converted to black and white. I made the conversion in Photoshop as an exercise but liked the image more as a black and white than in color. One bit of advice that I gleaned from elsewhere on this forum was that I greatly heightened the image's color saturation before making the conversion. The picture would have been far too garish in color but I think it worked splendidly as a black and white conversion.

Shot taken over the weekend. There are loads of Cardinals flying around in my area at the moment.
