# 1 & 2 are, I believe Mallards
# 3 & 4 are Canadian Geese
# 5 is a female Mallard, I think. Can someone please clarify that for me?

2,3,4 look a little blurry to me but 4 has a nice color contrast. . 5 Looks really nice and sharp.

I agree that #2,3 and 4 are a bit soft. The last shot appears a bit over sharpened as I can see a light halo around the subject. Did you crop to get this image on # 5 ?

Wonderful pictures - my favorite is the non-noisey Canadian!

Welcome to the forum.

Yes I did crop. Here is the original:

On the crop, I may have re-sharpened. I recropped from the original (above) without furture editing. It looks better (no halo).

I agree. This is when I wish I had IS on my 70-200 f/4. combination of camera shake (at 200mm) and moving target :neutral:
#5 didn't move an inch :mrgreen:

Thanks for all the great feedback!
