Taken last year. I don't think I've ever posted them here. But if you have seen them before, thank you for looking again

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.

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.

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:
