Mallard

Posted By Jeff Hapeman
Really nice picture--who cares if it's a mallard. If they were rare, we would be excited to see them--they are handsome birds.

Water Moccasin

Posted By Jeff Hapeman
Kurt,

Nice picture, but the head shape tells me that this is an eastern water snake. The coloration of the two is similar, but the head shape and some other head characteristics are very tell-tale. Water snakes are also much more common.

Not poisonous, but VERY aggressive. They will attack when they feel cornered, and can give a nasty bite that infects easily. I know this from some very personal experience .

Nice CHICKADEE, Sledz. Do I need to send you a bird book?

Really, though, nice shot.

Hummingbird

"Pooped in?" Hopefully not in your steaks...

Nice pic though. I hope the hummingbirds return to WI soon. We had a lot on our porch near our grill last year.

Ok Mr Hapeman, what is this?

Posted By Jeff Hapeman
Sledz, that is a very fine shot of what appears to be a Green Darner (Anax junius), a common dragonfly in these parts and one of my personal favorites.

Outstanding photo.

Grey Gnatcatcher

Posted By Jeff Hapeman
Michael,

Where are you located, or rather, where and when was this taken? That has a huge impact on identification possibilities.

That actually looks like a male Blue-gray gnatcatcher.

Hobby or Profession??

Posted By Jeff Hapeman
Ty,

In the past I have sold some of my work, but I stumbled into it. I photograph a lot of rare or unusual wildflowers, and somehow a Japanese magazine found some of my work on the Internet. I sold about a half dozen shots to them, and usually was paid anywhere from $300 to$600 per photo (plus they gave me a copy of each issue).

I also have some shots used in displays at the New York Botanical Garden and the National Botanic Garden as well as some US Forest Service publications, but those were for free...but they found me the same way, via my work on the Internet.

Not sure that helps, but I think assembling a gallery of your shots that are available--like the old portfolios pros have always used--is a way to start.
