Outstanding capture. I take it you were using the 700mm lens for this one as well. Tack sharp. #10479673Terry Cervi December 26, 2012
A 700mm lens? Wow, Anita!! What a beautiful capture! #10480054Anita Hogue December 27, 2012
Thanks everyone. It's not a 700mm lens. It's a 500mm lens with a 1.4 extender. #10480274Bojan Bencic December 27, 2012

a great close-up! #10481914Rona L. Schwarz January 18, 2013
I've been going through your gallery just drooling over your birds, Anita! They are all wonderful but I especially LOVE your backgrounds - how do you get them so clean and smooth? I see you have a 500mm lens (which I have as well) and even when I shoot wide-open my BG's are not anywhere near this lovely! Wonderful work! Especially love this little guy - we don't have them here. #10521558Renee Doyle March 27, 2013

Congratulations on your beautiful finalist, Anita! #10647205Merna L. Nobile April 12, 2013
Dear Photo Friend: I feel that something has changed at Better Photo but cannot tell you just what has happened. I have been here since 2003 and most every month I have written to all the winners telling them how their work touches me. I have witnessed photographs that bring tears to my eyes and colors that are unbelievable, now I am worried that like all good things that it will not be here the next time I look.
But the feeling of not being able to congratulate all the winners for the hard work, and sharing their talent with all of us makes me so sad.
However it turns out and even if this is the last time I have this privilege, to let you know how exceptional your work has been, please know that I will never forget.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for the month of February, 2013, I send my very best to you always, Merna Nobile
