Both excellent shots........well defined with plenty of detailed.

[PJ1]

As EM said, both great shots. The first one has great water movement.

[Mallee Boy]

Ditto above comments. Great shots. Got to admire that 55-300 in the hands of a competent user.

Both great photographs, but # 1 is outstanding !

[marcodagi]

Good moment, nice shot. You should post just 1st one

[Bruce Clark]

Nice work. Hard to pick best but #1 has an edge in novelty.

That first one is special and I love the turtle catching some shade from the pelican. Well done.

thanks for commenting marcodagi, I liked the back lighting on the second one, and the bonus turtle cheers

hey Bruce thanks for the nice comments, he was a real character that one, you'd swear he was hamming it up for the camera, cheers

thank you Susan, you know I didn't see the turtle while taking the shot, concentrating on the bird, focus & framing etc, only during the PP I noticed the bonus turtle, cheers

This is like the 5th time I'm looking at these and the only word I can come up with is WOW!!
Not only did you capture the splash and a crystal clear, sharp image but in both shots the ISO is at 1600
and both images are noise free! Nice job!!

thanks so much for those kind words, I find the noise performance of the K30 pretty good and frequently shoot at iso1600 when Birding to get fast shutter speeds to keep camera shake to a minimum and so I'm ready for any action or BIF shots, cheers
