Ty for sharing!

Do you enter DU's photo contests?

[George McGovern]

9. You're welcome SheltieLover!

I entered the May contest, but had to pass on June and July's contests for lack of theme pictures. Thanks for asking! In the May contest this photo of "Bugsy and JJ racing around" won fifth place:

4. I love raptor shots.

It looks great rendered in B&W. This one could go on your wall.

10. Thank You Grumpy Old Guy. It could, if there was a space on a wall . . .

5. Excellent!

I rarely SEE them from below/within reach, and 'never' can focus in the allotted time!

[George McGovern]

11. Thank You elleng!

Well, this hawk took to flying lazy circles overhead and came low enough for the camera to achieve focus. It was pretty neat to see.

13. Oh, fabulous shot, George!

It looks like a pen-and-ink drawing, so much detail. And the slight fade-to-gray at the left helps give it a sense of space. Beautiful!
