Hi @lindsay , Thanks for setting this up! Quick question regarding Rule #2 ("The images must be taken during the competition period"). Could you please clarify the exact earliest date allowed for the photos? Since the post is dated February 4th but mentions a "5-month period" until October 31st...

KK No 1 My first suggestion is a corn bunting Corn bunting by Konstantin Kanin, on Flickr

Brian, where did you order the A1 and 300/2.8? In my opinion, the main advantage of Sony is in the tracking focus. I would immediately sell my Canon equipment, but I'm thinking of trying to shoot film and this is holding me back. Otherwise, you're right, it's not a good idea to support two...

KK No 4 Eurasian wryneck A very interesting bird, one of a kind. It has a long sticky tongue like a woodpecker's and can turn its head in all directions. Unfortunately, it can only be seen on the continent. Eurasian wryneck by Konstantin Kanin, on Flickr

Can you illustrate your findings with examples Bill? If you are afraid of offending anyone you can use my photos, I would be happy to receive constructive criticism. All of them have undergone heavy photoshopping, even those taken close up with a sharp lens...

Great photos Mike! At what underwater depth are you shooting? I assume you use lightings. Could you share the rig you used, please!

KK No 3 One of my most enjoyable summer photo shoots.Sitting on the riverbed, wearing 4mm neoprene, under the dense shade of the coastal trees. Damselfly by Konstantin Kanin, on Flickr

From everything I've read I think the problem is with the camera. My friends complain about inconsistent focus. The R7 is just that good. I shoot with the R6 and moving subject are always problematic for me regardless of the lens. Of course not as bad as your picture, but I'm a perfectionist.

KK No 1 My first suggestion is a female little owl. Little owl by Konstantin Kanin, on Flickr

Great idea! I am a big fan of Des's photos. (the older ones don't open, hopefully it's a temporary problem). I hope that many colleagues will join this contest so that we can enjoy a variety of photographs. I myself plan to participate with the maximum number of photos, as long as I make ones...
