You Capture - Photographers Choice

This week's You Capture challenge, Photographers Choice, should have been so easy. If all I had to do was peruse my photo files, it would have been easy to pick out my favorites; but, it's a lot harder to take my camera and try to capture my favorites. I mean I stared at that heron a long, long time before he finally decided to take flight.



And I took about 30 butterfly pictures before I got the one I liked. I even got one of him flying away. I was trying to capture a wildly beautiful sunset when the geese flew through and the seed head shot cost me about 10 practice takes before I got the one I wanted.

  12. Beautiful shots, as always! I really like the seed pod. I'm a sucker for a really shallow depth of field.

  15. The seed head shot is a good one, worth the ten shots to get it right! I have tried a couple of times to get a good heron shot and failed, yours is just perfect timing, well worth the wait.
