Yeah right, my opinion and a $1.00 *might* get you a soda out of the vending machine!
Seriously though, I need to rethink the hummingbird thing. The 70-200 just wasn't long enough to get the shots. I got some good shots that are nice and sharp, but they require a bit of cropping. The problem is that my 400 prime has like a 10ft min focus distance, so I think I am going to have to borrow Tony's 100-400 and head back up there in a couple of weeks when I get back from the Outer Banks.

Of course I appreciate compliments on my photos, but when they come Terry, I'm flabbergasted! I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing your photos, Terry. I'm certain that even those you're not thrilled with will be great.
