One more from yesterday. Chickadees and woodpeckers tend to let you get quite close to them before they fly off.--charliezap

Thanks Bob. The only shot that I used the k5 filter on was the 4th pic. All the others are the natural foliage colors in the background. charliezap

These are terrific, Capn. I just can't match this level of sharpness with my 55-300, at least when it's fully extended - probably a case of "a poor workman blames his tools." Great job, my friend.
