Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

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. :wink: 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?
