Hi Anthony, thanks! I was actually happy with that one, too. Also, it was the first time capturing that species and it's always exciting getting a "new one."

Thanks Clark ... whether we're beginners or have been doing this for a while, I think most of us feel the same way about improving - we watch, observe, read and learn from our fellow members, then go out and try to apply it. It is a very positive outlook that you have. I know that seeing the quality of photos I see on this forum has definitely helped me in staying motivated and in trying hard to improve. :smile:

 

Thanks Phil ... er, I mean Kingfishers' team captain. :biggrin:
