Nikkor 300mm f4.5 ED-IF. I wasn't sure if this should go in animals or transportation!

Animals, definitely. Although having that seaplane in the background definitely adds some interest to the top photo.

@Bogie the 2nd one in your set is just beautiful ...how does it look if you crop it in a little?
I like the eagle but the geese are the real winners.

Thanks! Photos 1 and 2 are already cropped around 50% (and photo 3 75%), further cropping is not possible i.m.o. because of the used iso-value of 400.
By the way, the supposed eagle is just a humble black crow! Very Happy Wink

LouLou and White One by Nesster, on Flickr

These are two of the three kittens we rescued from the outdoors, some lady had been feeding them all fall but it was getting too cold. They are about 6.5 months old, a bit too old to easily socialize. The black one is a girl, the white is a boy, and these are more wild/feral than the third one is.
