A few from last weekend at BBSP...

Great images! I like the spoonbill and ibis/siren the most, but all are very good.

Beautiful shooting Patrick! All great but sure like the first one. I find it hard keeping one eye on you to pick up some pointers

Patrick, I have to compliment you on how well you control your backgrounds. The 500mm F4L is a great lens (I have one) but you still have to place yourself in the right spot to maximize its potential. Love the hawk. Another nice series.

That's odd, I kept watching what you were doing for the very same reason! Thanks David!

Thanks Doug! I appreciate that. It is a great lens and I really enjoy shooting with it even if it does get a bit heavy hand holding it for a couple of hours!
