I know you think the Cedar Waxwing is crabby, but that's just his mood, right? I love that one, because they usually don't come around here much and I think I only have a few images that I took years ago in a small bush in our backyard. Haven't seen one since. oh, and I noticed some people have been spamming your comments, with links to crap and I know there is a wordpress plugin called akismet I believe that will let you trash comments or allow comments before they arrive on your website. There are 2 versions, the basic one is free and works very well. Glad to see you are still posting pics, I'll be back checking for more soon, :-) maggie Oh, I’m so pleased you put up some new images, I’ve been checking and finding nothing here for quite a while.

]]> Comment on Great Blue Heron by maggie http://www.harry122.com/30-day-challenge/?p=141#comment-228 maggie Wed, 06 Oct 2010 04:39:55 +0000 http://www.harry122.com/30-day-challenge/?p=141#comment-228 I almost missed this one too. I have to train myself to get past the fact there is no photo on the main page and only on the comment page. I have always thought that heron's were such elegant birds. I remember an beautiful illustration by the Audubon society of a heron that I d seen ages ago and always thought was so beautiful. If this were my photo (geez, not sure if you wanted critique; if you would prefer not to have any, please let me know and I'll shut my big mouth :-P ) but I would crop this differently by taking out the ducks completely. I know they add context, but I find they pull my eye and make this shot not as strong compositionally as it could be without them. Still great work, amazing to capture such a great bird and I'm so pleased that you are continuing to take photos! :-) I almost missed this one too.

I almost missed these I especially loved the one of the monarch butterfly in mid-air. That is such a gorgeous shot! I'm curious. I see you are on wordpress and that your unused images are in a slideshow type of thing. Did you create that with Lightroom? I just got Lightroom 3, and they have all these publishing features to put stuff up on Flickr, Smugmug, but I didn't see anything for Wordpress and I have a website that is just waiting for me to do something with it. I would like to do something like you did but with several slideshows, each for different categories, ex: urban, nature etc., If you did this with Ligthroom, did you publish to your hardrive or use a plugin? Any info you could give me would be really appreciated. :-) Ha! I almost missed these I especially loved the one of the monarch butterfly in mid-air. That is such a gorgeous shot!

I don't know if you realize, but on the actual page the photo is not showing up. I'm so happy you are going to continue to post. I commented on your about page,but I don't know if you get emails about getting comments or not. I'm so impressed that you can take pictures of eagles. I have never seen a real eagle with my own eyes in my entire life, much less photograph one. What amazing creatures! It must be exhilarating to live somewhere that you can see them. What a great photo. Keep 'em coming :-) omg, there is a photo here. I don’t know if you realize, but on the actual page the photo is not showing up.
