And another....

GREAPER

nice shots, the second may be over sharpened a touch, there is a halo under his beak

R&R

Wow, nice shots. I know that first shot is very good because my dad has a picture on his wall that he paid good money for that looks almost exactly like that one.

Nice shots. These types of shots are very difficult to get. I just got my 100-400 lens and I'm itchin' to find some critters to shoot. I agree with Greaper that #2 might be a little oversharpened. You might try sharpening the L channel only. I haven't done this yet, but I believe Rutt posted something about this method. There is a new FM sharpening plugin that is supposed to be good, but I haven't tried it out yet.
