This would imply that you'd show rare species + very specific information. Only for (bird) photographers. Describing all the tips and tricks you master so well, and with your work documenting this. A combination of both, with detailed info for one part, and a short summary of the other part. What it will ultimately become will depend of: what you want, and what the market wants. I would love to see a version with extensiive explanation about your technique (the times that you did explain, I truly enjoyed and learned from it) and a brief summary about the species. But whatever version it will become, put me on the list.
