Beautiful shots - especially the second and third ones. I love the reflection in the water. Wild creatures are always off somewhere it seems, but a great catch.

No. 2 is so nicely framed...love it. And then, no. 3 has that gorgeous reflection.

Thanks everyone !
Some of the pics were edited with Photoshop elements 7. I'm trying out the trail version and must admit that i'm having fun with it ! Very good to edit out some unwanted stuff like power lines or for resizing or cropping too!
