    Hi ShepsMom, I like the Ducks in flight (Last Shot) too,
    and I would edit that white thing out of the shot to make it look even better.
    You could easily to that with cloning....

    I see loads of improvement here compared to your first set of bird shots. Your egrets are looking much, much better. The whites are much calmer. Good going! And that bif of the ducks at the end....bowdown.gif

    Thank you everyone. I feel like i'm doing a little better, thank you all for your great suggestions!! Now, if i can get my hands on 400mm lens that would be awesome. I might just get 300 instead. I know Nik's are expensive, any one has a suggestion on 300mm cheaper brand?
    Thank you again! You all are my heros! bowdown.gifbowbowdown.gif

    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!"
