Thank you, akemi-n
He made it easy...I got this shot from my own driveway...after this shot he flew down, picked up something, then flew off...he was a pretty good size bird...

Thanks for your comment, Steve.
The green on the bridge-pillars is algea-covered stones. The moisture on the pillars has turned green by green algea, caused by the abundant sunshine during the long summer days (almost 20 hs of daylight) and it keeps petty good during winter time as well. We have had an extraordinarily mild winter so far.
Best regards,
Walter

Thanks everyone! Someone asked where the image was shot. The mountain is the Jungfrau in Switzerland. The photo was taken from Murren, which is directly across the Lauterbrunnen Valley from the mountain. A wider-angle shot would also show the Eiger and Monch to the left of the Jungfrau.
Excellent composition and exposure. I love the subtle but strong colors, especially the pastels on the horizon. The ship in the distance is a real bonus! This should be in a gallery somewhere!

Thank you for the comment, Yuriylux - Yes, finally I have bought this Nikon 70-200mm f/4 (2nd hand) to replace my old and heavy Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8. This Nikon I can use handheld. Must however test more, tere is no good light at the moment.
Best regards,
Walter

Thank you for your kind comment, jjpaque03. This is from an old fortified town i Fredrikstad / Norawy, where everything has been kept as authentic as possible with people living in these old houses.
Best regards,
Walter

Walter, great lens to lighten the load; optically fantastic (as evidenced in this image) and considerably less weight than a 2.8 version. I look forward to seeing more of your results in the near future.
Best regards,
Robert
