    Great series. I don't see anything too strange about the wings on the snowy. I think you did fine shooting through reeds. I too love the warbler BIF and perch.

    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!"

    First snowy shot is amazing, i see nothing worong with the wings. the others are nice too. i dont see how you can keep those fast little birds sharp ,( i can barely seem to get and keep the focus on a big horse head when its moving * argh* thought the 1Dmk2 was better at tracking ?? )

    anyway nice shots.

    the shot of the wabler is luck and we stood [3 of us] and shot away -a wabler is harder to shoot that a swallow headscratch.gif why you ask :D wabler just blows across and you never know when ne_nau.gifrolleyes1.gif a swallow has a pattern if you wait and watch they will follows lines --then you can set up some but it is not easy --that is what I showed to Dallas thumb.gif thanks for the comment
