Nice work, Garret. Light is a little bright on the leaftail in #5 but these are some good shots. How you liking the Bigma? Are you handholding the beast?

The good light be with you. If not, use flash! Kenny

Wow, these are sharp. I keep getting more impressed by the Bigma when I see shots come up.

I like 'em.
