Beautiful, Tim! The first one looks a bit dark and cool to me, but that's nothing that can't be fixed. And your focus and framing are dead on in all of them. Why don't you give us a bit of tech detail on how you shot these. Did you also post on the Nature & Wildlife forum?
These are excellent shots, but they should be in the Nature and Wildlife section. Excellent work.
BTW, whereabout in Iowa is this? After all, I am a neighbor to Iowa.

Lock and Dam 14, Quad Cities. They are dark, because it was real dark, crap light. All were shot with the 50D, 500 f/4 wide open and +1 exposure compensation. All the EXIF data is embedded in the shots.

But there's no reason you can't adjust it a bit in Photoshop, right? If it's worth showing, it's worth showing at its best.
You know these are all awesome. In the first one I would like a deeper saturation of the sky, but man, how do you criticize this?
Actually the sky was gray, heavy, heavy, low overcast. I pushed the blue saturation a little too high here. His head is not quite as white as it should be.
