Here's a few

Those are a really wonderful set of images! Love these, the Pickerel is so clear and I love the water splash in the last one. Perfection!

Here's a couple more for good measure;

WARNING: Dumb Question Coming!

What equipment (box, lens, and filters) did you use to get those shots?

This is exactly what I want to do in photography!

Great Shots!

1DmkII on both images, the top image was with the 100-400mm.. and I was really too far away from the bird for that lens. I think that image is very close to being a full 100% crop (still shows that the 100-400mm is pretty damn good even cropped!)
The 100-400mm "might" have had a UV filter on it that day.. in fact it's likely as I was on a boat in salt water..

The second image is from about 12 feet away with the 200mm f/1.8L (no filter)
That image is cropped only very slightly on the side for "artistic" purposes. I could print that at 24" x 24" and it would have tons of detail.

Great job Sp00ks - both are awesome! ... personally; the one at the damn really captures Freely's look ... like my wife just said - it looks like Freely with his puzzled look!

This is probably my favorite, though I've not taken the time to PP it into something perfect yet

Here is mine, it was one of my first shots taken with my 70-200 f/2.8 IS, so that is why it is sllightly off.

Gr8outdrsmn - just so I can understand what you see in your photo ... could you elaborate on what you see as being off.

I have that same lens too and shoot tons of GBH shots

I'm not sure if I see the same thing as everyone else ....

I just felt that it wasn't as sharp as it could have been because i was using all focus points instead of just the center, but i could be wrong. I am overly critical of my pictures sometimes.

It took me a little time to get used to mine. This is a good shot but it could be a tad sharper.

I got my first this afternoon while looking for Eagles. I never saw one sitting in a tree before - it caught me by surprise.

Every time I see this thread rise to the top again I am reminded of what a wonderful summer I had , especially with Blue ,,, here's a few more
