    Way to start out the new yearthumb.gif

    My new year consists of three days off and three days of rain and flooding here in North California so no outside shooting for me:cry

    This is a good start. Really crisp. Big contrast though from an eagle, but you made the best of it.

    Great captures Troy, Very sharp, nice background. Crop may be just a tad tight.
