Very nice. Love the landscapes. If any of them are soft, it's certainly not obvious on the web images. In regard to the two wildlife shots, I wish you had framed down just a bit on both. You have plenty of toom in the frame, but you've cut off their feet. Nevertheless, a very nice set of pictures overall. Happy New Year, Paul
