Welcome Welcome
These two Whoopers welcomed Dennis Binda and me with open wings and a lot of noise when we arrived at Kussharo Lake.
We of course did send them a print because they were great models :)

Another winning image. Your work is so refreshing to see.
Keep up the good work , and by the way the Hat tastes awfull with or without salt and pepper I just gave it a try...=:)

Regards Richard
Harry Eggens  Thanks Richard. Highly appreciated!
Try to do my best and get as many images through screening as possible :)
Hard to swallow with just a bit of salt and pepper I suppose. Why don't you give it a try with with some ketchup or mayonnaise :-) They make things a little smoother to swallow......, lol!

I really admire your work Harry, so good to have another wildlife photographer on
the site....Whoopers are so wonderful aren't they ! :))
Harry Eggens  Thanks Stephen. I'm glad you like those of my images which come trough screening.
We had a great time with those Whoopers for a couple of days. They make a lot of noise sometimes when there are a lot of them coming in or fly out, but they also are great to work with :-)
