Excellent shot Dave.
You got both in perfect focus.
I tried to take a similar image (with Brown Pelicans) almost one month ago and didn't get the expected results.
Also you got very nice details on those difficult whites.
Congratulations.

Oh, thankyou Markus. I couldn't remember any details but a handy thing about digital is the EXIF data tag. 1/1000, f5.6, 1.4X extender (focal length 700mm), ISO 400, Wimberley sidekick/AS ballhead. Lighting was overcast and a little dissapointing, but then again I didn't have to worry about harsh shadows. I was waiting at the shore and noticed that interesting American flag on the yacht far in the distance. So then I lined up to use it as a distant background, and snapped as the girls passed by. That's my daughter in the middle.
Of course it would have been nice to show the faces better. Since they face backward it is opposite the technique used for soccer/hockey -- you want to be behind the action. The local professional used his 70-200 right from the dock, and shot the teams as they moved away from the dock into position. I think he got a lot more winners. As is usually the case in photography, you need to be closer than you might feel comfortable with. I find Regattas quite difficult since positioning is limited. You might be able to convince someone to let you onto a rescue boat that follows the action.

Great capture Dave,
I recently saw a Merlin very similar to yours but I could not get a nice shot.
In February of this year I went shoting with Marcus and he spotted this guy:
http://www.usefilm.com/image/1048405.html
Initially we got it confused by a Peregrine Falcon, but them we realized it was a Merlin
They are very rare in these latitudes.
Take care my friend and keep them coming.

Another fabulous photograph, Dave. The light rays coming through the trees, combined with the continuous intensity of the fog towards the end of the path really give this picture an element of interest and mystery.
Best wishes,

Thankyou to those of you who looked and commented on this photo. This little girl has Down's syndrome, and she dances through life with her best friend, her Dad. To me this pic is all about meeting challenges as a parent. The quiet dignity shines through.

This is an interesting perspective study. As Marcus said, the DOF drop off with each successive post or tree works well. The perspective pulls you through the image.
And as an aside, it is nice to see such fall folliage. We don't get that in Texas. One day the leaves are green, the next they are brown, the next day they are all over your lawn. Go figure!
And another aside: great doggies in your bio pic!

Thankyou, Markus. He came over to have a look at me, as I had set up to take pics of his family a few minutes earlier. We've had some very funny experiences with beavers in these parts. They have a mammal's mind, through and through.

wow great capture, very stealth look to his swimming, I like the just above water look, very nice lighting and tones, the slight wake is a nice show of movement... The 500 Is a awesome lens, I only wish I could carry it around for a day, I am secretly hoping for a 500mm F/4 DO

Hi Davman :), This is a beautiful rowing scene, very nice timing as the water splashes about, I often shoot eights and sometimes doubles as that is what my better half rows, and its not easy framing and getting who you want in the shot, or the right perspective, this one is excelent. I had a feeling that was you on the Eos Forum as I dont know another dave that would know that yamil and I use the DO, actually I sold him his..

Dave, your nature shots are grand. This one is particularly striking. Blue is my favourite colour. You have captured his details and textures so wonderfully. You even caught the glint in his eye. Great timing for this shot with his lunch ready to go. Super.
