Nice Pictures?
Kevin,

Thanks for taking time to make your kind comment.

Sometimes a great deal of credit goes to the quality of the model, and the photographer can only credit himself with having had a bit of patience, waiting for the right moment. But in photos like these, however patient the photographer, it's still up to the model to make that moment happen! I also owe a debt of gratitude to the prey, who are, unfortunately, unable to accept their awards in person.

David
