WOW #3 is really cool:clap:clap:clap

Very nice captures Dave. Number 3 is TOP!

I find them a bit too noisy for ISO 200. They lack the "crisp" that I'm custom to from Canon.

Thanks guys.

The pics are a little noisy do to the post work. They are heavily cropped,
and lightened. The sun was on the wrong side of them, or I just missed
the exposure.

Nice compositions Dave. As dick noted a tad noisy, that damn sun just never seems to cooperate. :D

[davev]

Thanks guys.

I think when he grows up he wants to be a raptor. :D

Nice captures Dave. I hate exposing for black birds, especially backlit or poorly lit black birds.
