    Hmmm... They do seem a little too awesome to me...[:P]


    On a more serious note though... What is it that you find wrong here? [^o)]

    Peter...,


    Could you tell us a little more about these shots, like:


    What camera body?


    Metadata?


    Time of day; mid-afternoon?


    Jpeg or RAW format, Post Processing?





    Although, I do like the composition of the photos, I do think that the backgrounds in the first 2 photos are a bit blown out (which I don't have much of a problem with), and all 3 photos lack a certain amount of "Pop" and look a little flat to me with decreased color saturation.


    I would think that just a little bit of PP; like contrast and perhaps a touch of saturation would make these photos pop.


    Is this particular 70-200mm focal range putting you in less than optimal photo situations regarding the time of day, with overblown blue mid-day light? For example, I have found that I mainly use my 70-200mm and 300mm for sports or events in the afternoon, where the time of day and outdoor lighting are beyond my control.


    I'm just guessing, but if that's the case, perhaps a polarizing filter would help?


    I would like to reassure you, that the 70-200mm/f2.8L IS II is a great lens and I wouldn't give up on it!
