I will assume that this was NOT taken with your macro lens!

If this WAS taken with the 180, Jim has a death wish.

Nice shot, old folks.

Thanks for the comments y'all! I actually used my ol' Nikkor AF 75-300/4.5-5.6 to get this guy. I was on the pier shooting the sunrise and this fellow came cruising in and stopped. I switched to the 75-300 and got as low as I could and made a few photos... He didn't stay around long...I think it was looking for a handout. It was probably 10 feet from me and I don't get that close when we are both on the ground, but being on the pier I felt fairly safe.

Good shot of this "close up" Jim. I think he was counting on his hand out being you.
