WOW, your picture IQ has really dropped off with the use of that lens and extender...here, let me take it off your hands and I will embarasse myself by post pictures nearly this FREAKING GREAT!....LOL

Amazing shots!

Good shots! The imm little blue portrait has the right amount of DOF and best composition IMO.

Excellent captures...nicely posed with great details. The BK shots are just fantastic.

The wet look really suits the grackle nicely! Nice series.

Some Nice shots you got there Billy

All these are nice. I don't think I've seen a better Kingfisher shot either.

Very nice series, that KF looks really good.

Great series. Not a bad shot in the bounce.

Very nice. Love the grackle. Glad you are back at it.

thanks a lot of the comments guys, means a lot to me.

Doing good Billy, all are excellent captures and that 2X TC generally degrades the shots. Well done.

Great series, love the grackle, well done!

This is an excellent series and the quip 'Crab meeting it's maker'
Interesting detail feather on the 'Boat-Tailed Grackle' I have a shot of one of these birds that I snapped when in Florida late last year, now I know what ID it is, thanks.
Well done Billy, nice ones.

nice captures, well done
