Great shots from everyone so far!
Tim S - I really love your kingfisher shot the best - Everything about that shot is perfect - A beautiful pose, perfect composition, great bokeh, sharp bright...perfect!
Capt. Ray - While the bird and sea lion shots are a hoot

, I really love the boats. I wish I was on one of them an on the water...right now!
Tim - Beautiful bluebonnet photo and so appropriate for a Texas photoforum
Laurie - Love the bluebird and how you were able to use DOF to get a great background but the bird and perch is sharp and clear. But that parrot shot (#5) is just outstanding. The composition is great, the sharpness and background are wonderful, but the colors are just incredible.
