Excellent as usual,Jonathan. But assuming this are the "full Monty's" I think both of them can use some cropping.Resolution wise it shouldn't be a problem with those K20D files.

The kingfisher is good but, how about a closer crop?

You can't. The web designers have decreed, despite our many protestations, that thou shalt not edit posts after 20 mins.
