As usual, I found them all excellent, especially those of the birds in flight.
For my taste Will I like to burn-in the foregrounds just a bit to emphasize the birds. It is a matter of taste and has nothing to do with your excellent photographs.
I know these are out of camera shots and no editing has been done but when you have the time give my tip a try. You could like what you will see. By toning down the bright areas emphasis is placed on the birds.

Hi William, glad you liked them...and thanks for the tip! They're a little noisy and not tack sharp so
I probably won't be using HSC with the zoom in the future. I'll have to give your idea a go with some "keepers"
Always nice to see your Sandy shots Will. Go easy on the paint fumes, Many years ago I painted cars and as those who know me can attest fumes will make you crazy!

getting some fresh air didn't hurt! Thanks, Robert.
Pretty impressive results for a lot of "artificial" glass. Looks like some pretty harsh light with about 6 full stops of dynamic range - I think you did exactly the right thing with your EC - especially impressive work on the BIFs -

Thanks, Mirek! According to Karl, I have electric pads purposely placed in the pasture.

Appreciate the informative comments, David. In better light (it was like 10:30 or so) I'm still at -.3 EC
since it's real easy to blow out the Sandhills white/light gray coloring. The D3/D300 do a much better job
but I still like shootin' with the old D2X. Thanks much!
yeah, ya don't wanna be late!
