Thanks Don.
Hi Rich.
MFI. I like both of your photos. The first has a lot of energy; IMO this comes from the diagonal slope and the strong value contrasts. And the second has similar value contrasts, pleasing color, and is very well composed.
My photographer friend (a much better photographer than I and a wonderful person) spent hours yesterday at the Bolsa Chica Wetlands because word had spread that a Burrowing Owl had been spotted. This owl is nearing Endangered Species status due to unrestrained housing developments shrinking their habitat. It's a very small owl (just over 9 inches or 23 CM high) and I gave us no more than a 25% chance of spotting it. But with help from other photographers there we found it! Later today I'll post at least one of the keeper photos I got that morning.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
