These beauties landed and played for a long time in a slough not 30 yards from my deer blind this weekend. Took a bunch of photos these are a few of my favorites.

Nice. Hoodies have always been my favorite. I've got a few in the freezer I need to mount.

I wish Photobucket wouldn't blow them up so big. With the telephoto they are slightly out of focus when they are so big. They look much better just a little smaller.

stx you are so right! This camera is going to save a lot of deers' lives I can tell. smile

You don't have to like someone to appreciate a good picture...seen a few democarats in my day that I liked to look at, just didn't want them to open their mouth to speak grin

Can't you crop them or size them before you load them in Photobucket? PB also has an option to change the size, just seems like you could do it on a program before you put them in there and still keep the clarity.

I'm sure there is something I can do. Lots to learn for me about photography AND computers...

Awesome pics, Hoodeds are among the coolest looking waterfowl IMO.
