Hello Erik, I realized I never came back to see the latest additions to this album. That was a pity, because I missed out on some fantastic pictures. Wow, the swan portrait really is a topper! I viewed it full size, and even the little waterdrops are natural sharp. It is a very true to life picture. Great work, and great eye (of the photographer)!Thanks Erik for your enthousiastic reactions on my latest albums, it is very much appreciated. I really missed you, my friend, and I am glad I heard from you again. I hereby wish you and your family a very happy New Year, Els (from Holland)

Hi Erik, you are a photographer with a keen eye for the interesting and unique. Not one shot here is ordinary! Each has captured something of the subject's character. Now that's talent. As for the photos, they're beautiful and sharp, great work. Seasons greetings, Keith in Sydney.

Hi Erik. I stopped in to thank you for your very nice remarks in my featured album, Insects and Spiders. I've enjoyed looking at your pictures. These are incredibly clear, sharp pictures. Very nice job. As a cat lover (I have 3), I really enjoyed cat #3. Thanks. Peggy

Hi Erik! Enjoyed viewing these delightful animal shots - love them all! It takes a lot of patience to photograph animals and you have captured them perfectly. Well done. Thankyou for your kind words in my 'Sky Scapes' featured album, I had a wonderful day. Best wishes, Gladys, Western Australia.

gladysclancy 2004.07.13 at 01:18:34 PDT
Hi Erik - what a wonderful album. The cows are very cute, the kitty is adorable (looks like my Veronica) and the ducks are stunning. You even make pigeons look good! Great shots. Please stop by for a visit to my albums when you get a chance. Warm greetings from California, Beth

bvillanyi 2004.07.12 at 13:35:22 PDT
Hi Erik, are you better off taking photos of things like ducks on water, in the sports mode on the camera? It says it gives you a faster lens reaction, or something like that. My camera has many settings on it that I know nothing about, and I don't want to alter anything incase I make it worse. I might have to get a few lessons from someone who knows about the camera. I see on your photos of the ducks, you have got a good reflection. Is that just calm water, or the way you have the cam set to take the photo? All the best, George

Hello from the Shetland isles in Scotland Erik. I loved all of your photos, especially the ones of the diving duck. I tried to catch them doing that the other day, but the water wasn't smooth enough to get a reflection. All the best, George

Hi Erik and greetings from Kentucky USA. Thanks for the nice comments on my featured album of covered bridges. I like this album, the cows remind me of the days when I had a herd of Registered Holsteins. A great collection here, keep up the good work... Darrell

Wow,Erik, You have terrific shots in this album. The Detail of the head of a Mute Swam is wonderful right down to the water drop: The pair of Mute Swans (03)is beautifully composed. (It couldn't be better). Thanks for your extremely gracious compliments in my guest books. I really appreciate them. Bill Cable (heyburn3).

primaverasfoton4 2004.02.07 at 14:37:14 PST
good picof the cows, especially the first one. It is not so easy to get the camera to focus or expose correctly on these animals which are dominant black and white. The Panda pics I have been trying to capture, with them in the shade, are really challenging at times. Anyways, thanks very much for your nice comments from way far away.

Merci Erik pour tes commentaires sur les photos d'Halloween, par contre il faut que je t'avoue que je pensais trouver des aménagements plus élaborés que ceux que je propose. Je t'invite à surveiller l'album More scenic pictures at night, je vais poster du nouveau matériel dans quelques minutes. Michel

Hi again Erik! I just love the expressions you caught on these animals' faces. You are a great photographer and I take great delight in viewing your photographs. In answer to your question from the Grant's Farm album, no I don't know how to speak any German. The family who owns this land now is the Busch Family of Busch Beer fame and I am assuming they may be from German descent. I am really not sure, but they named the buildings, carriage house, some stalls and the courtyard area at this site, the Bauernhof. It is located right in the heart of St. Louis County, MO, and is not even in the country like most farms. They do raise and breed Clydesdale horses there. Thanks for your interest. Have a lovely tomorrow. Sharon

Erik! You got the best shot but I got to tell you: Pigeons are great romantics and their ritual is quite wonderfull.I am a romantic and one of my early recolections of pigeons is remarcable.They even have a language of love. As al fowl, they have a unique ritual, Brings back memories, Made my day. Love the clarity, good taste in all, Ben, Skokie, Ill.

Hi Erik, This album is so impressive, I am new to photography and have found animals the hardest subjects to photograph successfully, you have done an outstanding job with these photos,it is hard to pick favorites but I think Seagull 1 and 2 and Duck 2 are among my favorites. Thank you for sharing. Candy

Eric this is exceptional photography. Action shots like these do indeed require a fast shutter speed on film cameras and very fine settings on digitals. Great Shots all. Thanxs for the kind words in my log book and keep up the great work...........Gene
said
tewbyfourgn5 2003.04.27 at 20:53:55 PDT
An amazing album. And indeed a (very) fast camera. To take these pictures and get them sharp at the same time. You can be proud of yourself. I agree with peonierose, it is hard to choose a favorite. But still I will try: Cat 01, the curious cow (I am very fond of these animals), the 2 seagull pictures, and certainly pigeon 01 (although I am not fond of pigeons). Greetings again, Els
said
evanwely 2003.04.26 at 08:55:30 PDT
Bravo Erik! These photos are stunning! Really exquisite quality! Well done!!! I can't pick any favorties because there would be too many:-)))) Give yourself a pat on the back for such good photography. Jane
said
peonierose 2003.04.25 at 21:34:21 PDT
In this album, I think Cat 01, Pigeon 01 and Seagulls 03 are defintely outstanding. Where is your hometown near that I would recognize? Switzerland is my favorite country in the world. Ann
