Interesting to read your comment, Sue. I probably let the technical aspects play a bigger part than I should in choosing my "favorites" but emotional response is still a big part of it.
In the bird photography world, many refer to two major types of shots - "BIH" (bird in habitat) and "BOS" (bird on a stick). I'm like you in that I prefer the former when they're well taken. But they're more difficult in many ways too because the habitat often has its own issues.
Thank you for the detailed and heart-felt comment!]]></description>

Ron,
I've so many times wanted to talk about the emotions that your photographs elicit.It's my emotional response that chooses "my favorite shot". As a birder and an artist, I can truly appreciate the beauty of your photograps. My "nature photography " stopped when I realized that I was so focused on the camera that I really had no feeling for what I had seen or where I had been. So, you are providing incredible images from nature and I can experience them fully without having to dilute the experience with camera parafhenalia, technique, etc.
All of your photograps are technically amazing. However, the ones that call to me have: 1. grasses, twigs, branches, ground...habitat that unconsciously invites me into the photograph, because I've been in similar habitat when birding and I'm now remembering how that feels. A feeling of the habitat helps me have an emotional reaponse to the photograph. 2. a varition in lighting, Shadows create areas that I have to look again, and then I may see other surrounding details that I would have missed if the whole scene were equally lit.Of the two red tail images, #1 is equally lit. Nothing intrigues me to look closer. #2, however, has that shadow that calls me to look at it, and I see that the shadow is about the same size and shape as the dark area of the underside of the right wing. interesting, now I'm focused and looking at other details that I didn't bother to look at on imag#1. 3. movement/energy shot#2, with the right primaries...energy energizes me.4.detail..#2 shows both underside and topside of wings. look at all that detail to explore when we are able to focus down. It was the shadow that brought my focus into the details..and I noticed that beautiful area of white spotting on the topside of the left wing. I always look for that light "chevron" on the back of perched red tais, as an I.D. It was great to see it in this bird.
I could go on....I just want to share with you how I respond to them. They have the ability to take me out into the field which is where I long to be 24 hours a day. You add a lot to my joy.
Thank you!
SUE]]></description>

Barb, The approachability of our Red-tails varies tremendously from bird to bird. Most are quite skittish but a few get used to roads and traffic and become much "stickier" when you're shooting from a vehicle.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[nice shots - red tails are especially skittish when approaching - even when I shoot from the car - or maybe it's different in Utah - having them fly horizontally to your shot instead of just "butt shots" takes patience - or some special skill... the side shots show their form (and beak) nicely]]></description>
