Lovely detail.

Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Thanks David I'm pleased with this photo in particular. I love these birds but they move so quickly out of nearly 100 photos only a handful have good focus. I think the lens and the user are more the issue than the camera.
