I was very fortunate to enjoy another beautiful sunny morning at my favorite local pond.
These are presented in the order I found them throughout the morning.

D300 ~ 300 f/4 w/ 1.4 TC ~ Exif Intact

All C&C are greatly encouraged and most appreciated. Thanks for looking at what I love to do.

Kirk

Dont know if it gets any better than these. I am impressed, especially with the use of the 1.4 TC. Did you use a tripod?

Lovely! The stilt is my favorite. I like the reflection on the Avocet.

Nice diverse series.

I must admit Kruk, I do enjoy and look forward to your posts and this is no exception. I don't know where to start! Of course the angles all rock, I know you like to get down in the dirt 1 is beauty, just enough reflection to add interest. Mrs S looks as if she is setting on top of the water The waders are all classics, for the most part no nits, just pure eye candy. I might crop a little more off of the bottom of 5 but that is personal taste. The Stilt is a tour de force of an exposure. Man Kirk you hit this set out of park!

Fabulous shots Kirk! I'm 'stalking' my own local pond and I wish I could come away with shots like these

Sublime color and detail in each beautiful image buddy, they each stand on their own as a tribute to your wonderful skill behind the viewfinder I'm bewildered to single one out but I do keep coming back to that last frame The clarity and plummage detail are just off the perverbial hook my friend, wishing hard it was mine

These are freaking incredible but number 5 steals the show and made me sound as if I was taking a very labored bathroom break! Well done! You make d300 and 300 f/4 sing!
