great set Val

Very jealous, I have been trying for a while to get one of those. All I get is a grey blob behind huge thickets of swamp grass.

Very nice.

Great shots!!! Can you share the settings?

Great set Val. Love the look of #5 with the reflections off of the water. Very low angle! Were you on your belly for these shots?

Simply stunning.

Thanks for posting those settings (I've got the same camera/lens) - great work sir!

Beautiful series Val.

Love the clarity, great set!

Amazing shots of this usually super skittish bird.
