Wow, really nice line-up Cheryl, the three stooges they're not :biggrin:
I see you're using my setup when I have to reach, how do you like that 300mm f/2.8 anyway??
Very nice in all respects, well done! :toast:

Cute line-up, Cheryl. The detail is especially lovely. I find it curious that none of them is open mouthed. Pretty well mannered! :toast:

Nicely done! Great job on keeping detail in the whites, especially against that dark bg.

Good job getting sharpness in all three birds, separation of the heads and a good look at the eyes Cheryl. I do wish that the feet of the foreground bird weren't cut off.

Thanks so much everyone. Howard, I LOVE that lens and Ron, I noticed the feet gafter the fact as well. Darn!. Perhaps I may clone some greens over it to kinda disguise it? :wavey:
