    Thanks. :D

    Yep...both shots were with the DO. I see no definitive lack of contrast that I read so much about in reviews.

    Yeah, I'm still shaking my head over that purchase.eek7.gif

    But, when I considered it was 5K less for the kids to fight over someday...hell I had to get it to spare them! rolleyes1.gif

    Very nice. The inquisitive look and composition of the squirrel is nice, but don't tell Harry I said that. mwink.gif

    Great details in the shots, you can almost make out the plague microbes in the rodent capture.

    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!"

    I liked Harry's plague comment. :D - very sharp capture, and a good look.

    On the bird looks like the tail is more in focus than the head / eyes.

    The focus point was on his shoulder just below the neck. The feathers on the head are fluffier. The tail does look sharper...but then it does in life too.

    Thanks. :D
