From the new camera! (Cameron)

Borrowed a friend's Nikkor 55-200 4-5.6 and went back to Centennial Park. Pretty happy with these, it's reasonably sharp although slow to focus.

Cygnet - He's so fuzzy!

Very nice Macka. I'd be tempted to clone oout the catchlight/highlight on the cygnet's beak in the second shot. For me, it seems to over-emphasise the fact that the tip is out of focus.

Apart from that, some great captures. :D

I'd agree with with Simon on this point

Nice capture of the adult, too

Thanks guys, have fixed that on my website. Have also since decided that the white balance was a bit off so I've warmed the first two up a bit as well.

The website versions look much better Macka.
