Ditto. For some reason, the added verticality (is that a word?) adds another dimension to the pic that I find also adds interest.
Either way - interesting / excellent compositions.
Got new glass?

What is and what should never be
Played around with the Canon 28-135 again today. Ended up with these:
The creek is high from all the rain we've had this past week.

I just acquired a Pentax-A 50mm f/1.7 lens. All exposure modes are supported on my Pentax DSLR as well as matrix metering and P-TTL flash. Everything except auto-focus. Although I would have liked a f/1.4 I decided paying at any where from $60 to $400 more for 1/2 a stop of speed wasn't worth it. If I needed 1/2 a stop more just change the ISO. It's not like the film era where I would have to push/pull the processing to manipulate the ISO.
Just a walk around the block for some quick snaps (uncropped, no post processing unless noted):
Slightly out of focus
I tweaked the levels slightly to reduce the minor blowout in the background
Shot in shade, you can see the tongue doing the Chuck Jones road runner thing.:
It's nice to be able to shoot at ISO 100. I miss Kodachrome 25.
Edit: some quick and dirt post processing, cropping, white balance, levels

Really like the in-flight pics. 
Is that definitely the tongue in the H-bird pic? Given the time of year, it seems that it could be nest-building material ...

Yeah, could be nesting material too. Hard to see what was going on through the viewfinder. It was feeding from the flower in the foreground when I first came upon it, then to flowers in the background (not visible).
Beautiful pictures!
I haven't been up to much photography for a little while because of exams, but here is one I snapped of my friend's cat. The iso was very high (I think 3200) and I dodged a lot of shadows under his eyes and such. I also cropped it, sharpened it a very small amount, and increased the exposure a touch!

Love those shots Warren! Especially the hummingbird.
@Devon, that cat has the "The thermometer goes THERE?" look on his face...

Lovely photo Av. I really like the composition.
More cat pictures.
They're not as sharp when blown up all of the way because the shutter speed was slightly too low (Was working with low light), but I am otherwise happy with these pics.

Aw cute kitty!
Took the Canon 28-135mm out the other day. I went to the WNC Nature Center. I'm really impressed at how well it performed considering I was shooting through fence wire and glass.
