    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Great images, Ric. The 100-400 works especially well on the 7D for some reason, doesn't it?

    Two fantastic images, but the portrait is the standout, to my eyes. This must be about as close as it is possible to get to perfect. bowdown.gif

    Love the picture of the Jay on the lens, too :) Happy looking photographer there.
