Took this while out with the dog and was looking intently through the viewfinder about to snap my dog when I heard some flapping.

Unfortunately I had to crop a fair bit to get a composition I was happy with.

Exif Data:
Camera: 1DII
Lens: 70-200 f/2.8
Focal Length: 200mm
Aperture: f/4
Shutter Speed: 1/400
ISO: 100
Exposure Bias: -0.3
Metering mode: Pattern
Mode: AV

I didn't do much PP just converted RAW adjusting WB to closer to what it was at the time, boosted saturation and contrast slightly (and of course cropped)

I rather like this photo of the dog, but it wasn't quite in focus - I've tried sharpening it a bit in photoshop (and when converting from RAW I adjusted the white balance to give it a warmer feel.

Exif Data:

Focal Length: 200mm

So let me have it! Thanks in advance for any critique.

WIth the duck photo , Are you not risking being OOF with your 2.8 F ratio? I know yours came out perfectly but wouldent you suggest a higher F ratio or is your AF just very very accurate?
