One of the first images from the MK3 This was actually a workshop participant's camera and was attached to a 400DO + Converter !!! Bird was in the weeds and took off straight at me, at the time I was set up with all AF points selected for purple martins (nailed a few), worked just fine. Just been out with it a couple of days and feeling very comfortable. My biggest adjustment has been exposures ... each system has its own peculiarity !!! Image not real conventional but sort of like it !!
Comments welcome and much appreciated

Hey, I have the other half of the bird :D:D
Loved the crop when you showed me. Wish the glossies were more cooperative, they sure look good in pictures!
I agree with the positive comments, and like Gus I really like the colors. Most of my glossy pictures are just dark. I took a number this AM at the Rookery, and just wasn't happy with them. I also like the green on the bill!
Of course, it would have been considerably better with the D3.:D:D
I like the uniqueness of the crop on this Al... I think it works well. I might even play with cropping a small amount right - just a thought. Cool image!
Unconventional but good, Al. Sharpness is great on the bill and face. Quite dynamic with the raised wings and spread tail. Looks like an amputee with the birds right leg seeming to end without a foot. I might be tempted to clone out the one spot of duckweed at the root of the wing.
I like this one, Al. You've got great eye contact which I think is what makes the image for me with this unconventional crop. The colors and contrasting duckweed on the bill are beautiful, too. It got nice and close to you. I was not lucky enough to get a nice glossy image like this one - hopefully one day!
Glossy Ibis .. part of one !!!
