      your DOF looks spot on!

      again, excellent stuff in terms of colour/sharpness/comp

      definitely worth striving for shots of your quality, and the nice thing is that even if we only get shots half as good as yours, they will still be stunning!

      Nice to see a shot taken from a distance allowing you to appreciate the bird in its environment. Like the way thw lead bird ahs the glint in the eye and the trailing bird has dipped its wing tip in the water. Good one!

      Ditto about the wing clipping the water. Absolutely stunning! After your last few posts my 350D is cowering in a corner somewhere. Keep it up!
