It was a pleasure. A bad day on the Hooptie Deux ain’t all that bad.
I had good company onboard.

I like the way the first bird’s bill tip looks like a worn out electric guitar. The wavelet that it’s about to walk through gives it a nice sense of movement too. The second is a popular image for yourself, but as it’s an in flight crop it’s well impressive, as are the others. I love the raggedy look of the Brown Pelican in No3, I can visualize the slightly ungainly ginking and adjustmenst it makes as it comes in to land. The Oystercatcher is fascinating, in that, you’ve managed to make it appear as a red billed Pigeon. The environmental image is top notch as a natural history record, and splendidly artistic into the bargain. And the thinned out front profile pelican with thin sticks for the nest is just very nice indeed. All birds have spent whole years effort to build up their energies for this breeding season, and the nest can be the crowning glory for many species.
