Nice shots.
I like the 1st and 3rd the most.
That waterfall is beautifull.

thanks! that waterfall turned out pretty well i think for hand held I really had to use photoshop a lot to pull out the dark areas (everything except the waterfall :-) it was my first day out with the 70-200. I really like it, but as i've learned from reviewing the pictures I took.... I think i'm going to go manual focus when I use the lens from now on and just take my time with each shot. Thanks for the comment.

Nice shots, Michael. We have (at least) one other forum member in (on) Okinawa ... swoop1156 (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/member.php?userid=24419). Ya'll know each other?

Nice shots. On the first two, you might consider a tighter crop before downsizing. I think they would really be good.

Those are really nice shots you got there. Where in Okinawa did you take them? Were the bird pictures taken at the same place the waterfall was?

[michael.luczkow]

The birds were taken at hedo misaki. the northern tip of okinawa, the waterfall is hiji falls, about 2 hours south of hedo. Thanks for the comments guys, I learned a lot about my 70-200 that day. Definitly has it's own character, but I need to get 2 more lenses to fill my gaps.... :-) $$$
