cool, nice captures. .i like both of these..good DOF, good crisp detail on the feathers also!

Thank you for the Comments John, I appreciate it very much.
How are you coming with your Photography?

Congratulations on your new lens. Looks like you have a nice and sharp copy. I hope you enjoy your as much as I have mine. Some of my most treasured images have been taken with this lens. Good luck and fun shooting m8.

Thanks Ray
I love your recent owl Pics they are fantastic.

Seems like Christmas comes earlier and earlier every year doesn't it?

Nice shots with beautiful light. You look to do well with your gift, hope she gets something special as well.

Very nice Allan, you are applying your early gift nicely!

Nice duck pose, and big congratulations on the new lens...look forward to seeing what it can do. I have never shot with this lens myself, and wonder what I'm missing. Have fun....and Happy Thanksgiving...steve

Thanks Brad,
Yeah I am going to try and get her something special, she has a few things on her list and is very heavily in to scrapbooking.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks Trevor
yeah I am certainly trying to force the learning curve, So far I am pleased with the results, the Sigma 70-300 DG Macro I had, taught me good lens etiquette, having my first IS lens is a big help also, especially at 400mm
Happy Thansgiving.

I have been waiting for this lens for a while now, of course I wish I had it sooner but, having to wait this long has made me appreciate it more.
it is a very capable lens and I'm very much looking forward to getting some great shots with it.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

Congrats on your new lens, looks like you got a nice, sharp copy!
"Santa" did well! I hope mine will be generous this year; I've been a very good boy

Thanks Artur,
Yeah sandra claus did very well, I'm very happy with the lens.
I had a RSH visit my neighborhood this morning and it posed for a few shots.

Very nice test shots...BIG congrats on the new lens Sam !!!

Thanks Reyno, I appreciate the feedback.

What a nice wife you have, especially letting you open it early!!

Anke
Thank you for viewing and posting comments, yeah she is great, I love her to death, I wouldn't have it anyway.
As far as opening it early she couldn't take it any longer, she figured being as I knew what I was getting, I may as well have it early and get some use out of it.
