Photo Contest HONORABLE MENTION: Nathaniel Faries

Nathaniel's photo:

Info on the photographer:
Name: Nathaniel Faries
Age: 16
Grade in school: Homeschooled, but would be junior in high school
Hometown: Bermuda

Why you like photography: Not exactly sure, but I just enjoy the challenge of composing the photo, getting the settings right, and timing the photos perfectly.  In short, I just love photography for what it is.

Why you took this picture and how it fits with the theme of our contest: This is a picture a Bermudian Longtail.  This species of bird exists in other islands (I believe in some places in Oceania and the Caribbean).  It appears on our quarter, and it is one of the few species of animal that is more or less unique to Bermuda (the longtails in other areas of the world are slightly different, like different types of eagle, for example).  Thus, I thought it an appropriate subject for this photo contest.

Favorite verse of Scripture: Toss up between Romans 12:2 and Philippians 4:13
