Hi Duane. I really like them as well, and they have been some of the most focused images I have taken of nature shots.

Thanks so much Paul, for your comments. I also like number three the best, but that is because of the emotional connection with traveling abroad. Nice comment about Jennie. I like it!

Frogs rock! Thanks for the comment.

Hi Picnik. That pigeon shot was taken on the pier in Whiterock, and was obviously used to people. Probably from being fed by tourists etc.

Hey Rob. The duck, for me, is a killer shot in terms of clarity. The frog is clean as well, and I like the composition of it better.

Hi DRs. Glad you liked the composition. That is something that I am continually thinking of in pre/ post work. I guess it is paying off finally. Cheers.

Thanks Steve. I figured you would appreciate these. I think the last time we "talked" the topic around minimalism in the frame came up. I think that is why I like them so much. I was telling KGb224 about how I found these on my hard drive, and had totally forgotten about them. Lucky me. Cheers, mate!

Hey Vijay. Nice to hear from you. I am happy that a lot of people have been enjoying these shots as much as I am. Some good memories tied up in each of them.

That is one cool looking frog shot.....got it all nestled in a colorful place in the foliage......did it stay there for you or did you have to shoot quick?

Hey Patrick. This littel guy was chillin big time! He did not budge, except to turn and watch me shoot him with both my video and older FZ28. Got lucky. My friend spotted him. Cheers.

You crack me up, Jennie! Your comments, like this one, really reveal your sense of humour. So what do you think the frog would turn into if you did kiss him? Would he remain a frog, or become a prince? I bet the latter.
