Nice work with the panning to get the amazing tone and bird in flight, Susan. #1516306

Susan Williams February 24, 2013

Thank you, Emile. I was inching my way in muck up to my ankles to get this Great Blue in the water when it suddenly took off. It's a lucky shot because I got ahead of it and let it fly into the frame, and the sunset offered more light than I had when he was wading for fish. #10581814

Merna L. Nobile April 09, 2013

Dear Photo Friend: I feel that something has changed at Better Photo but cannot tell you just what has happened. I have been here since 2003 and most every month I have written to all the winners telling them how their work touches me. I have witnessed photographs that bring tears to my eyes and colors that are unbelievable, now I am worried that like all good things that it will not be here the next time I look.
But the feeling of not being able to congratulate all the winners for the hard work, and sharing their talent with all of us makes me so sad.
However it turns out and even if this is the last time I have this privilege, to let you know how exceptional your work has been, please know that I will never forget.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for the month of March, 2013, I send my very best to you always, Merna Nobile #10647675

Susan Williams April 10, 2013

Thank you for your kind and touching words, Merna. #10647968
