    Well...I've never captured a GBH that looks as good as these!

    Maybe one day I'll reach "amateur" status.rolleyes1.gif

    The GBHs that we have around here don't have that bright orange/yellow upper beak. ne_nau.gif Maybe these are in mating color and will change later in the year when I'm more likely to see them.

    I was thinking more about the 500 F/4.

    That second image of yours is soooooooo sweet. I love the clarity, exposure and detail.
