Kdyby alespoň některé mé fotky vypadaly takto, tak bych byl moc rád. Krása.

Nice series Ken,

You may have answered this before but has the K5 significantly improved your bird photography? I can't help but think that increased dynamic range has to be a big bonus.

Another marvelous series Ken. That fifth shot took my breath away. Bird shots just don't get any better than this.

Hi Tom, I agree with you. I think my previous K-x is able to produce similar colors & sharpness but K5's extended DR really is an added bonus.

The last one seems almost cartoonish in a good way. Seldom have I seen so much expression from a bird. It's lack of poise gives it real human character.... awesome!
