Thanks, I used a 10 stop Haida ND filter.
1st time using it and I was surprised that it gave no color cast despite the cheap price.

I like the contrast of the peaceful water and rocks with the industrial horizon. Nice shot!

My first trip in the Danube Delta included a three hour boat ride, so I took my chance and took some wildlife shots with the 55-300. Feel free to criticize as I know I'm a rookie in this area.

Wow, that last shot is real nice with the boy in the boat!

Just one I decided to color grade a little bit and do a little more than I usually do on LR4

I'll be critical... The flickr thumbnails are too damn small! Those are some great pictures Doc.

Fixed it! Thanks, Jon!
You can always see the full set on Flickr, but here are some more shots:

- Great crested grebe with its chiks:

- Great white pelican taking off:

- More pelicans and cormorants:

- One of the few rowing boats used for pleasure/photo cruises:

I wonder, has National Geographic's called you yet? Those are some damn fine photos, I can't really pick a favorite...the boy in the boat is very engaging, the bird in flight (very first picture) is really well done, the calmness of the "lotus-like" flower.....very good set.

Thanks, mate! I didn't expect such a positive review. I guess National Geographic photo hunters are not very active on Flickr and Pentax Forums.

Still I have lots to learn before I produce some NG-worthy pictures.

@pinholecam: I've been watching your activity in this thread and I've come to the conclusion that I really need the DA15 Ltd. You've taken great shots with this lens. All I have to do is quit smoking for about 8 months and I shall have it.

Still, had to share this one of my granddaughter specifically for you guys to let me know what you think knowing, that I think from the get go, I needed a little bit more of fill flash from the on camera flash. Tried to bring it as much as I could without taking away the original, sun to the back rim lighting her feel of it.

I think the lighting is perfect here. What I would say is when shooting kids get down to their level rather than stand and shoot down at them.

With my granddaughter is a difficult thing to get a shot now and then, since she thinks the focus confirmation I love so much, it's the camera shooting already! Imagine that I am standing on a wheelchair ramp going from left to right on the frame, and I had to get over the handrail in order to take this one. She was walking outside of the ramp and all of a sudden goes, "papa, picture!!!" looked, composed the bright area behind her a little, locked focus and, snap!

BTW I am a whole 6'3" and sometimes get lazy on that when it comes to bending down that far!!! lol But point taken.
