excellent shots

Tremendous shots with amazing detail Neil, what lens?

Excellent shots.

Very nice images Neil

Thanks everyone

This is with my sigma 150-500mm on my k20d

They are very nice shots I particulaly like the last as it has a different composition from the usual and therefore catches the attention, well done.

The colours are great on the first one Neil.

They seem much better than anything my Bigma churns out

Thanks agian for the comments everyone

i wish my 150-500mm would be this good, but the only thing its good for is a door stop,

Superb shots

Scott I have a nice Spanish Bull door stop, I'll swap it for your door stop
including postage,

Wow! I actually said that out loud too when I saw those shots.

Superb stuff.
