   bms44974, very nice shots with the 70300G!  I noticed these pictures were all taken at the 300mm end, maybe a 300/4 G or even a 300/2.8 G will be your next companion?

	Thanks, nitrosyl. I'm sure my current companion would have something to say about putting $6K at the end of my camera. I had to sell all of my old Pentax equipment last month to get the 70-300G. I'm sure there's some long, fast glass in my future... just as soon as I can find something else to sell on eBay. Cheers... Brian

	Thanks for your comments. It was a midday and I am in the Tropics so the light was harsh. I will remember to use the Saturation next time. Much appreciated. Stan

	Nice one Mike. Was it cropped much? I ask because the feathers are just a tad blurred. Might also be that you were at ISO800. Or it might be the slowish shutter speed.

	@ sue Nice work. Suggest you clone out the two gulls that are on the right hand edge of the frame of #2. The light gives that shot a nice three-dimensional look that puts the viewer right on the beach.
