You win some you lose some
Nothing wrong with that 2nd shot though.

Thanks on the compliment on 2nd shot MA. I just wish I could have been about 10 more yards back on that first one. The snow was somewhat a pain also though, as it was coming down quite hard. Sometimes i like the added effect though, especially on in-flight shots.

Of course it did. And all us "little" folk with our meager 200mm lenses are drolling.

Thanks a bunch guys, really appreciate the kind words-
As for the meager 200mm, I wish I would have had mine on for first shot Matt.
