Love number 1 and 2! The detail in 5 is awesome, great little "D". The Shrike is stunning, love that pose! And the Eagles, wow, the Eagles.....nuff said

Thanks for again making me feel totally inept and raising the bar once again

This my friend is one fine representation of nature photography! The opener KF is just saweeeeet

Each one Tom is masterful IMO though those eagle shots are over the top. #11 and #12 are captivating!

Excellent sir

Great job with the KF Tom

I believe the second shot is the best of the series. I also like the first one , but to me that trunk takes some away from the image. Never the less it shows your skill and the capabilities of the MkIII to focus track the subjects

The other pics look great as well with fine exposure and nice detail. My only pick would be the Dee looking a bit over-sharpened on my monitor. The Eagle series is fantastic I never get tired to look at those images.

Hey, how did you get those BE's off of my HD

Killer set from top to bottom! Each and everyone is over the top

I was wondering if anybody got any good shots of the RTH that morning, he was a challenge to get a good bg on. You got one here

The eagles are amazing, but I think you knew that already. I can just see you grinning while working on these files

I was PM'ing with Karl about bars getting raised around here and now this post

Way to go buddy,

Tim

Another gallery of very fine images Tom.

BIG congrats on the KF... the IF is terrific and the perched shots ain't bad either.
I also really like the NS, Quack from the Yak, and the Sparrow is beautiful.

I can't remember if there are any adjectives I haven't used yet to describe the BE series...

Oh yeah, spectacular!

I am so glad for you guys that everything came together so well for that awesome opportunity.

Excellent work Tom.

Wow another great set Tom.
Congrats on the KIF, love your Quacker and the BE are fantastic (don't think I used that to describe them before, but if I did it still applies

)
Keep them coming!

Wow Tom, what a terrific set this is. The bald eagle shots still amaze me. Have you figured out what type of tree that is? Favourites? They are all favourites but I'll pick 3,6,9 and 12.

Gasp!!!! Oh My! Gasp!!! .... That's was my reaction to all of these, Tom

Those KF shots are to die for and then it just got better from there.

More of Ken's Eagle

It has my name on it now - love it

Thanks so much for the compliments, I appreciate it tremedously!!
The BCC does look a tad on the sharp side and it may be time to re-cal my monitor, thanks for pointing it out Sir

I'm thrilled you like the Eagle shots and I'm forcing myself not to process any more for fear of boring you guys to death
