Ah.... so this is the project you wanted illustration for... Looks like you did an ok job on your own...
are the species illustrations from your own photos? or are they copied from a field-guide?


Great photos as always... impeccable.

They are my own photos. I don't lift things from other sources unless it's public domain or with permission (and I would credit accordingly).

It works very well with the maps... honestly, why use an illustration if you have good photos...

John,

I just finally had time to give this post a proper look. What an impressive layout of maps, species, and photos. Great work. I know this type of thing takes lots of time.....it was well worth your effort.

Thank you very much - I had a lot of help and tips though (Nate Nelson in particular deserves a lot of credit).

WOW, what an awesome post, John. I know you told me it was a good trip but the pictures are proof. That Coal Skink is awesome looking and quite different looking then the few I have seen here in extreme eastern Texas. I guess it's gonna be awhile but let me know the next time you return to Nac.

Later, Scott

Thanks Scott, will do.
