Hi Gary! Nice shot of your returning friends! I really like the pano and the sharpness of the birds! Wish that I could join you!

Nice separation and pano. The head of the upper right seems to be slightly angled away and OOF.

Looking forward to visiting Bosque in November for the first time. JR

Hey Gary!
Brings back sweet memories of my trip last year - too bad I can't make it this year too...:(
Love the pano shot and the feather detail you have captured! Beautiful lighting...
Best regards,
Nicki

Can't wait to get to the Bosque Gary! Nice even light, and I like the fact that both birds are sharp. I wish the birds were flying towards you though. I would sharpen the head of the bird on the right.
