How about something a little different. I was shooting some flowers when a target of opportunity arose and I shot without changing the aperture from 11 to something wider, so I got the shot at 1/20 of a second. I like the abstract look, though.

Cedar Waxwing.... Interestingly enough, AF would not lock on the body, but would on the head or feet.....

Lovely shot, Don. What camera were you using? Maybe the AF just liked the contrast of the head and feet. Most of the time AF works great, but once in awhile it will leave you scratching you head wondering how it could have possibly focused on a point far from the one you selected. ;D

American White Pelican fishing on the South Saskatchewan River this past Sunday. I would normally use my 7DMII + Sigma 150-600mm lens for this type of picture but didn't have them along so I used my Fujifilm X-T10 + 55-200mm lens in substitution. 8)

Very nice series. I especially like the second picture. Well done, Stuart.

Great photos, Stuart. I have family and friends around Lakeland and in Tampa/St. Pete, so that is where I normally hang out when I visit them. I often spend some time at the Sunrise Skyline bridge. I have driven through the Everglades when travelling to Miami, but never stopped to photograph the wildlife there. What part of Florida were these pictures taken?

Beautiful shot Don. Sounds like a low contrast issue.

Hi Brian, the owl was taken at Cape Coral next to the public library and the others were at Fort Desoto.

Kind of annoying when "notify" doesn't let me know for a few days. Great shots everyone!

Nothing special, but a new one for me - Clay-colored sparrow.

Thanks guys. I've seen them enough now that I think I can ID one. Not too good with sparrows.
