Love the pano crop.... Excellent detail and great morning light. I just got my 7D, looks like it is much better than the 50D I sold.

[Alfred Forns]

The AF is totally different and works great !!! ISO is much better and the camera feels more solid !

When you need the reach is a good alternative to the Mk4 ... has seen lots of use !!

Great feel of the soft light Al. Love the partial reflection blur.
Congrats

I like the pictures clarity and simplicity. Clean foreground and background. Exposure techs are perfect the 7D is fast too!

Hi Al

Another masterpiece, I love every thing about it.

Thanks for sharing this beauty with us.

BTW: What are the white horizontal bars of white from?

Best regards

Hi Gus

The lines are reflection from the water, can see them just in front of the bird !!! As the light becomes stronger they disappear !!!

[Gus Hallgren]

hI AL,

Now that you pointed them out I see where they come from.

Thanks for the heads up. Also noticed the high speed you used to stop the water in mid air :cool:

Best regards

Gus
