    Nice work on all three images.
    The sharpness, clarity and subject presence in #1 is impressive.

    I agree that #1 is killer! clap.gif All three are very good. Looks like you are getting the GBH thing all figured out.

    Maybe if you could throw in a "butt shot" along with a good wing clip ... then you would graduate from "Grasshopper" status. rolleyes1.gif

    Boy Ric! You really raised the bar with that #1. Don't think I've ever seen that much detail in the GBH's undercarriage. bowdown.gif

    Getting detail on these low contrast birds can be a chore.
