Nice one. Color looks very accurate. Curious, why 360mm and not 400mm? Did it just work out that it framed better, or is the lens sharper that way? What ISO setting? I opted for the 10D because of less noise at faster ISO settings, but I am always impressed by your pictures. Makes me wonder...
By the way, you motivate me to get out there more often than I probably would.
