Love them! I can't decide which one I like more, I think it depends on your goal. But there is not a weak one in the bunch. Great!

Pretty cool. Nice series of shots , Steve. Like the last two of course. Glad to see you're still using that big shiny white lens of yours. It would have been a shame had you dropped it on your foot for real. :uhoh

All great pics...my favorite is the last one.

who knew if you changed the "P" to a "W", you'd get such a different looking bird.

Thanks Mike, what can I say, my lens is bigger than your lens

And I always wear steel toe boots, just in case.
