I really like the pictures, I need to stop complaining about the cold and shoot some photos.

The shot of the mallard is just awesome. How much was it cropped?

Gotta get me one of them K5's!!

Good results.

Well done, Andras. Beautiful shots. That's one good lens.

Agree that these are well done with that Mallard being the cream of the crop. Beautiful.

here's the uncropped version-and forgot to mention that it is iso2000!

I've managed to capture some nice BIF pictures with the K-x but all those pictures needed huge amount of cropping...now with the K-5 this is a different story..and the keeper rate is much much higher..I'm more limited by the lens now..which itself is also awesome considering it's price. Now with that large amount of "keeper pictures" I can concentrate on choosing the best one in terms of composition. Like this previously already posted picture..this is my favourite-so sorry for posting it again:

Andras
