    I really can't pick out a favorite - all three are spectacular!

    And no, you have not posted them before. I would have remembered these.
    Please do not edit or repost my images.

    What's a Loupe for anyway?

    These are the best pintails images I think I have ever seen! Any details on the equipment?

    Thanks for the nice words, Dale !

    I used D300 with 200-400 on tripod. The pintails were quite close to me and so that helped, too.

    Re: Northern Pintail - male - three shots

    Now those are what I'd call tack sharp images. The detail on the feathers and on the water droplets on the duck's head is amazing! I've never really considered getting me a 200 - 400 lens since I already have a 400, but there have been times that I wish I could zoom out with my lens but I can't. Not that I can afford getting me a lens like that anytime soon, but now that I've seen your images, I'll certainly keep that lens in mind the next time I decide that I have to have a new big lens. Is that the f/4 IF-ED AF-S VR G lens you used?

    Congrats on the featured photo btw. :thumbsup:
