Ducks on The Prowl
Ok, this was my first serious attempt to get some quality shots out of my new gear. I had to keep the 70-300mm lens at 70mm because the ducks charged me and were at my feet before I could react. I had a bag full of oyster crackers and they knew it. They were so excited I had to wait a moment or two after slinging out the crackers for them to settle down and look up. I also used CS4 exclusively this time around as I'm feeling more comfortable with its use now. I still need to start using adjustment layers instead of editing the actual photograph. Hope you enjoy these. The grounds keeper was really laughing hard as I'd spread a handful of cracker then scramble to get off a few shots.

Number 2 is lovely - they all are - but #2 for me 
Perhaps a touch oversharpened though?

Lovely colours Bob - as you say - perhaps not the easiest lens to be using under the circumstances.

Nice shots, Bob, glad to hear it's not just animals in my neck of the woods that give people the run around!
