Here's one from the other night - I FINALLY obtained my photography pass for a local State Park, which allows one to drive - rather than hike with your gear - into the rear area of the park where these guys hang out. While hoping for some headshots, the herons and egrets were wary of me, this time - so I tried to frame this one nicely with the local landscape. Does the hint of bright at the top detract? This is full-frame, so I can crop it out.

D200, tripod-mounted, 70-200 VR w/ 1.4x



And one in-flight, my first ever - the D200's AF and the 70-200VR's AF-S, both relatively new purchases, allowing me the option.
