Great job hayward..........the color and sharpness of the lilly's is awesome! And what more could you ask for to have that bird pose ontop of the cattail for you.

Hayward, perfect focus and beautiful composition on the lilies. Lovely rich colors as well.

At first look, the cattails in the second image looked so soft I wanted to reach out and touch them, until that little birdy surprised me! Nice work on both!

I didn't see him at first--he is so beautifully camouflaged. What a delightful photo. I love all the textures especially the fluff of the tops of the reeds. Lilies always a welcome sight, too. Sigh good!
