Nice set Scott,

# 2 for the cuteness factor.

# 4 because it has excellent eye contact - though I could have like a tad extra space on the right of the elk to look into....

All nice Scott. The colors look natural, and the sharpness is good too. #4 does look a tad bit over sharpened to me though.

Good job, Scott. Like them all. The elk shots are great and the bear is nice also. Only nit would be that #2 is a little soft, but it's still a great capture. Still using the borrowed 300?

Lil: Babies always make a picture appealing. Extra space was not easy because he was moving and I was moving with 300mm prime to keep him in the right spot. And struggling with composition. But I agree. Thanks Scott

Marty: the elk with the big rack was tough. Getting him in the picture with 300mm prime so the antlers were not small but the composition was good. He will be big. I saw him again this morning and will see if I did better. Scott

Bigcountry: Every time I turn around I see bears. Now I am getting fussy and want grizzly with cubs or cubs. Life is tough in Jasper. Thanks for the feedback. Scott

Ron. Thank you for the feedback. I am on the road with only iphoto and pse 3 so my sharpening is challenged. Thanks you. Scott

Garen: Thank you for the feedback. Scott

Darrly: Yes still using the 300mm. It is difficult to use with the 30d. A bit too much magnification causes me to use my feet. Using the feet do not work well with bears. Thanks for the input and feedback. I think too short a depth on 2 - live and learn. Scott

Having been born in Jasper I am always envious of anyone in that area with a good camera and great opportunities..
Love the bear shots.. elk are wonderful and I can see that a 300 is almost too much glass.

Harsha: thank you for the feedback. Scott

Desertrat: yes in jasper 300 is too much because the animals come right to the side of the road. I think 200 would be just right. maybe that 2.8 70-200 my wife has not heard about. Thanks Desertrat. Scott
