Thanks Randy, I don't post many bird shots, it is way to hard and tiring, I am impressed by you folks.
Well for me it is in the lead for my shot of the year, obviously I have lower standards than you, :smile:


You have a very impressive site, I see 1000s of hours of hard work, and incredible pics, I am very envious, but at my age I am happy with what can get. Funny how it works, this was one of my first shots those few days, and I spent a lot of time trying to better it.

That's a beautiful capture. Love the pose and light. I must have missed it first time around as well. He's missing a foot. I wonder what happened?

Tom, that's a great shot for anybody......I'd be proud to call it my own
And as far as old I'm 61:smile:

Thanks for the nice compliment on my site

Thanks Alex, I fixed that. You know I have posted 1000s of pics Learned a lot from comments and criticisms, never cared if they were liked or not, didn't know the bird forum is such a tough place to post.:smile: I do know birds and wildlife are a tough gig and I admire y'all work and effort. An hour and half yesterday with the 400 wore me out.

If you are shooting the 400 2.8 checkout that new 80-400, it's so much more fun and IQ is close to the 400 or 500 I doubt anyone can tell the diff

Sorry meant 200/400. Coming from you, that is a strong approval, I would not have thought a zoom of that range would be that good.

The IQ wasn't a huge surprise since I've shot the 1st version for years and loved it......the AF speed is amazing and it handles so well

One of the most impressive gull shots I've ever seen. Nice job.
