Would you keep it or delete it?  Let us know why either way, what you like or what you hate.  What would you have done differently?<\/p>\n<p>In a few days I will present one additional image for a total of twenty in all in this series.  That will be followed by several revelations including two major ones. <\/p>\n<p>One of the very best ways to grow as a photographer is to look at as many good images as possible.  I do that often in books, by checking out contest result web sites, by critiquing images on Bird Photographers.Net (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.birdphotographers.net\/forums\/content.php\">BPN<\/a>), by visiting the web sites of the world&#8217;s best photographers, and during image critiques and by encouraging image sharing on our BAA Instructional Photo-Tours (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.birdsasart.com\/include-pages\/ipt-updates\/\">IPTs<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h3>BIRDS AS ART BULLETIN #390<\/h3>\n<p>BIRDS AS ART Bulletin #390 is on line and can be accessed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.birdsasart.com\/2011\/11\/30\/birds-as-art-bulletin-390\/\">here<\/a> in spectacular white on black format.
