    those are some powerful shots, but the first one, with the dirt being kicked up behind the bird as he takes off, now that has some serious feel to it. nice thumb.gif

    That is quite enough William! These great shots are killing me. I know you got them in Florida. I will not rest until I find out where.

    Another series of excellent shots taken with a frigging 70-200!!!!! Man, you have no mercy.

    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!"

    Thanks Steve, indeed an experience not to forget, I only hope I can repeat it again next year. In the meantime I have more to post, so I hope I'm not becoming to overbearing. I can't do them all at once because not being a PS expert they takes so much time to prepare.

    Thanks Daniel, Shakey, and Russ, your comments are greatly appreciated. Fortunately I can get close enough to use a Nikon 80-200 mm 2.8 Mr Book2, and thats a lot of fun. I haven't had time to print anything yet Nick, but I'm looking forward to finding a couple of wall hangers. More posts are coming.
