I'm with Andrew and would have been delighted with any one of these... I really like the Tern - really sharp and with a lovely blue sky, and I like the hoverfly (in non-hover mode); fantastically sharp and great focus on the eyes. Great stuff

It is lovely and sharp. Purely by chance I went off with only the DA* 50-135 to get some birds this morning. It is fantastic if you can get close enough...

Good thread! I like the mono version although I think I would be inclined to crop off the bottom so that the frame ended at the curving shadows in the foreground, although maybe that's just me...

Nice set! - i like the third the best compositionally like Snappychappy and Aliengrove, although I like the dark powder blue background coming through in the first and second (except the beige bar along the top background in No 2) - setting that blue colour against the tones in the grass is really pleasing to my eye.

I agree too - not over-processed to my mind. Great idea of using the car bonnet as a background. I would have a go on mine if it wasn't so filthy...
Nice shot though - like it very much

I have a Gorillapod 'SLR Zoom' I think it is called and it is fine with my K-7 plus a small prime lens, but put a slightly weightier zoom on there and it starts to sag and generally wallow around a bit - not so useful... but fine with a lightweight lens. Could be that mine is getting on a bit and the joints are not as 'tight' somehow...

Nice set well taken - I like them all (now number 2 is cropped a bit) - I think the first is my favourite though, captures a good sense of motion which I like.

Lovely shot
I couldn't agree more with the comments on the DFA 100 - it is great to have on the camera in a garden - great for shots like this, or push the camera a bit closer and you can get bees, bugs and butterflies (assuming they stay (fairly) still long enough)

My guess is a camel - looks like the eye is quite well shaded from strong overhead sunlight...
Odds on it'll turn out to be a donkey now...
