Good Mornin' Andy!

 From the "frozen" water droplets in the "swans" shot, I'd say you're 
doing pretty well!

The 400/560/f6.8's are amazing for such a lightweight lens.  I've 
used them with just the shoulder stock with good success (though a 
reasonably high rate of motion failures).  Like Doug, I mostly use 
the 400 with the shoulder stock AND a monopod.  Especially when using 
a 2x converter, as well!

Were your shots made with a monopod or a tripod?  Or did you "wing" it?

Keep up the good work!  :-)
