this bald eagle put on quite a show today at the park... unfortunately, the light was about gone by the time he showed up, and most of my shots were little more than silhouettes, but i did manage a few decent attempts... 40D, 100-400 @ various focal lengths and exposures...
ok, you must have missed the Janice's going to the dogs thread ... we sit out in the cold 10+ hours a day, freezing every body part off, and sitting, not moving (except camera) for very long periods of time with no warm ups possible ... but, yes, we are presented with 6-10 shots every minute LOL

NEWSFLASH: at least 90% of my doggie portraits are done inside a 10x15' tent/portrait booth, in unheated horse barns, during agility trials, so we do freeze for the doggie portraits too
"Decent"? That's all those shots get from you is "Decent"? Wow, you're tough critic of your own work...
If I took those shots I'd be calling them "great" or at least "very good"
well, you know what they say about being our own worst critics... i do like these shots - the last one, especially, came out rather well - but they aren't as clean and crisp as i'd really have liked... mainly due to the light, but it took a fair bit of fiddling in PP to get them to look good. and although the bird was fairly close and i'd pulled the zoom back to 200mm to make sure i caught it as it went by, i still had to crop more than i'd really have liked, so the final image file is only good for about 8x12, maybe 10x15 tops, for printing. i haven't printed it yet, but i probably will in the near future, just to see if it prints up well enough to offer for sale...
Rocky, I understand what you're saying, and I agree that you should be your own worst critic, it helps you improve. They're still great shots though!
As for printing, I'll bet they look fine. I'm always surprised at how well stuff prints, often the small noise that's obvious on the monitor is hardly visible in prints.
