All of these are great work. The framing is outstanding. So impressive that you didn't crop to achieve these compositions. For some reason I can't access the exif in these file with firefox exif viewer. What lens did you use on the Pentax? You must have had some nice long glass, or you got very close!
Hello LaRee!!! Thanks for stopping by and enjoying them. These are all with Canon - sorry!!! Mea culpa....
Pentax images to follow soon though!!!
Smugmugs' made changes so the EXIF is kind of locked down - somewhat irritating! I'll dig them up for you.
Regarding the Egret: I was told it's a tad soft by someone on the Canon DPR forum...
You can also see my other quote in this thread by someone about the framing being unsuitable in his eyes... "the composition in these images doesn't seem pleasing to me..." Wow, it's so subjective! Perhaps the judges will disagree with his opinion.
