Rob, re: the slap from your partner, I feel it is my duty to inform you of the following:

RobW, great shots. Very clear and sharp.
PS you could get the kite and the boarder in the frame together, if you took the 200-400 and put the kit lens on.
Not that I would be doing that when you have the 200-400

WOW! Great shots!!
I have severe lens envy with acute 'not enuf money in my wallet syndrome'
The first shot looked a little too yellowish to me, so I tried making it look a little more natural. Could just be my monitor.

On second thought, now my pic looks too 'blue'. There's probably a comfy middle ground somewhere.

Yes, very sharp and impressive. I agree the first one does have a yellow shift to it. Would this be a white balance thing?
