Wekiwa Wildlife Shots

On the latest visit to Wekiwa Springs, I wasn't able to spot any deer or armadillos, and the gators refused to be photogenic, grumpy bastards.

Anyway, I thought to contribute with these shots. Let me know what you think. All feedback is appreciated, even ruthless criticism!

These are swell. Love the way the color pops in the bird from the first pic.

The d40 is a sweet little camera. 18-200?

mixedmedia: Wekiwa it is. I've already run into two folks from another internet forum I frequent and discovered that they live on the same street as me, so I'm fully prepared for a third. Oh, and I'm glad you liked the shots.

blahblah454: Luck and determination. There were around a hundred discarded shots of its brethren.

Manic_Skafe: I was very pleased with the lighting effects for the first shot and how it accentuated the curvature and texture of the lily pads. The D40 is the only camera I will bring, as it's a perfect size. Nikkor 55-200mm VR lens.

I have lived here for 20+ years and it's always been called Wekiva - I don't care how they spell it.

Nice work! Makes me want to save up and buy me a real camera.

Nice work. There is some nice contrast in these shots.

jewels: There isn't a better time than now! You can purchase the D40 w/18-55mm for under $500, which is a complete steal for a DSLR and lens that are both top quality.

JumpinJesus: Glad to receive positive feedback from a fellow photographer. The contrast is what I was going for with many of the shots.

*Nikki*: Thank you.

These are lovely! I spent a summer working at Camp Wekiva—lots of similar such critters to see.

Now I kind of want a "real" camera too.
