Thanks, AlanF!1,3,4
Usually they are impressed enough by you or your big lens (or both... but most probably by the lens: it's a Canon!!!!!!!!!)!Let me guess - Were you holding a slice of bread at the moment?
Actually I like more 1, 3 and 5. The reason: 2 and 4 are interesting but by one and the same reason. My problem is that looking at them I'm interested for a short time (the action off course!). Looking at 1, 3 and 5 I have my attention captured for much longer time (well, since I'm detail/sharpness maniac it shouldn't be so surprising - I have more to discover)! For example - with the cat I always want to zoom in the photo to see the structure of that ice crystals (and not only that)!Does this mean you like all the other 4 better (including the cat)? I can only submit 3, so I have to pare it down to 3 one way or another.
Thanks for the response, ISv. I like the action of 2 & 4 a lot, but they suffer from lack of sharpness(2) or a distracting background(4). The other 3 are indeed sharp - of those I prefer 1 for a more interesting pose (to me) and 5 (like you) to zoom in on the snowflakes or Ollie(cat) details. But us pixel peepers are definitely not what the general public is. I think they enjoy the overall look and if it resonates with them at a dismally low price then they might consider buying one. But I'm not entering these for money (they probably won't sell any anyway) so I just enjoy showing them off and hearing kind words about them. Photography is, and will always be, just a fun hobby for me.Actually I like more 1, 3 and 5. The reason: 2 and 4 are interesting but by one and the same reason.

On other hand since I'm not exposing/selling my photos I have no idea what the "regular (I mean the more abundant) public" will prefer more. And it's what you are in front of! - some other guys in this topic most probably have way more experience than me with this!
Here is the full image and a screen shot showing the distance. OK, I exaggerated: it was only 64.33m not 65. DxO Deepprime noise reduction and default settings for sharpening.Alan for the result is more than excellent!
Now half-joking, heavy crop or not, are you sure that at 65m that these photos aren't taken with the RF100-500 and the RF2X ?
Fully joking: Doubled with Topaz- Gigapixel
You have certainly put the new 100-400 to good use...
Excellent photo as always Alan. Coming back from the second consecutive excursion I feel I want to rest (and PP my photos) so theHere is the full image and a screen shot showing the distance.

Thanks! I guess I had a wrong impression of the distance. I started searching dng images for metadata info about distance and I found a Pelican I shot at 75m at 500mm and I made sense of the distance.Here is the full image and a screen shot showing the distance.

So thanks for that. I was under the impression that the distances had to be closer. I had to read it to believe it was 75.
I came from painting and feel by cropping down to see the details, we're missing out on the larger compositions.I like the full frame.
