Ben this may seem rough they aren't entirely in focus either IMO.
I will take this crit back if you produce sharp versions.

I wasn't sure about 1 and 4, I thought 2 and 3 were though. I struggle with this manual lens.

Love the composition of the second image, Ben...that strong diagonal of the perch and the dragon bang on the third makes for a very pleasing image.

Thank you. I can't take all the credit though, I couldn't move any further without ending up in the lake.

That is absolutely not an issue Ben; this is the Macro and Close-up forum after all.

I'm envious of the variety of these beautiful beasts that you are finding.

You don't have autofocus on your 75-300?

Unfortunately not, it's an older lens with screw AF that my body doesn't have.
