Thank you!
Wow. Really nice set. You're right, we get what we get. #1 might not be perfect, but it's not often you get a shot like that at all.
Thanks for your nice words!
Nice, the last one is great and in focus. Have you tried f/8? I shoot f/8 with my long zoom and it seems to nail it more. I have found spot metering normally works better as well, it usually separates the main subject better for more dimension. It may be my camera though, not sure.
I am still so excited to get a live shot of something new to me that I am lucky to even think and check the white balance

I will try and remember that. Thank you, sir!
Nice set, and I really like the last one!
Thanks. It is a bit sharper, yes?
