So much for a slow lens huh.

The eagle pic is amazing, through the avery cage and all (im assuming)

Those are some sharp images Kerry especially the polar bear and the water!

[stormygirl]

Beautiful detail Kerry. The polar bear is gorgeous. Did you crop? It's just a shame his/her head is chopped a little, but love the action!

[christiand]

Lovely shots.
The eagle is great and the polar bear playing in the water is fantastic.

I like the "frozen water" in the polar bear shot.

Cheers

These were well worth the painfully slow download! (my prob - not yours)
Eagle is very crisp, a classy shot, I like the signature and C right placement too! Polar bear shot - the frozen frame with water really makes this shot, but what happened to the top of bears head?

Love the fact that the eagle is shot hand held .............with one of those wonderful VR lenses! Thanks for posting these.

[KerryPierce]

Thanks for all the kind comments, guys.

Stormygirl and Matty; The shot isn't cropped. I'd framed the shot where his head was well within the frame, until he jumped up to assault the toy and his movement resulted in the shot you see.

I always enjoy your fantastic work.

If I had to pick one over the other, the polar bear does it for me . Water on the front paws just a tremendous natural effect.

[KerryPierce]

Thanks for the great compliment, fozzie.

Great shots, Kerry. I love the eagle. So sharp, and the bird looks so regal.

Kerry, loverly shots mate as usual and i too love that bear, makes me think about having a Bundy, if you dont know we have Bunderberg Rum here in Ozz and yeh the polar bear is like an icon and in all there adds so evertime i see one i think of bundy rum.
