Cute, Bill.  Lovely morning light and excellent dof to get all three reasonably sharp.  I'm amazed you could do it at f/5.6.

Sweet light, and great catch of the singing action. I like seeing a 'moment in time' caught like this.

.  Very nice warm morning color.  Great to get all three and focus.  Pleasant to see them mirror the background.

nice morning moment here Bill. I agree with Nate about the crop suggestion. Sorry I missed you out there. May have seen you and not even known it.
