CIAO MIKE! It's strange to be the first in a so beautiful album my friend.... for sure your art it would deserve a better consideration from Webshots users :-( ! I think this album is a beauty and there are on it many masterpieces; I love details and subjects over a foggy background (and this is the correct thing for portraits) so I choose: 1, 6, 8, 14, 18, 31, 32, 33.... Thanks for this trip in the colorful world of Mexican Birds! CIAOOO Ruggero

Bonsoir Mike! C'est un tres bel album, plein de couleur et de belles photos!J'aime specialement la serie du toucan (c'est un toucan?: drole d'oiseau!!) Avec ce joli et enorme bec plein de couleurs... Et pour citer quelques-unes, je dirai que mes photos preferees sont les MB 1, 8, 14, 15, 18, 33 (quelle tete!), mais en general tout l'album est tres bon!!! Bravo (pour un premier essai, c'est un succes!). A la prochaine, Luz

Hi Mike, the parrots look docile enough, but are they used to humans? The first picture is quite good, not a feather out of place. The flamingo's are an art form altogether. A well deserved bright album. Congratulations on your feature. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of camera do you use? Best regards. Ron/Southern Oregon Coast

said rboise 2005.03.11 at 19:59:59 PST

Hi Mike, beautiful shots. Congratulations fro being featured. I just came back from Puerto Vallarta last month, and enjoyed the wild life over there too. I invite you to see my pictures from there. Tirza from Los Angeles

said tirza_h 2005.03.11 at 20:16:18 PST

Hi Mike! Congratulations on having this bright and colourful album featured today. If these are your first Wildlife shots, they turned out well, and look as though you have been practising for years! Hope you can add Titles to complete the album and make it more interesting for the viewer. When visiting Zoos, it is a good idea to make notes of the names of what you photograph, then identification is easy. Enjoy your day in the spotlight. Gladys, Western Australia.

Hi Mike, Many thanks for your kind words in my new album on the Oude Gracht in Utrecht. I immediately looked for some new albums you made and I liked your two albums on Mexico very much. I recognized some places because we were on vacation in Mexico two years ago, in a small place just north of Playa del Carmen. I'm glad to see that the album on the Mexican birds was featured. Congratulations. Glenn
