Alan, I like the second and third shots--nice composition and detail. In the first shot, the very bright seed reservoir along the left is distracting; and the far bird is either too sharp or too blurry.
Sensor speed, latitude and noise were the reasons I bought a K-5 just a year and a half after getting a K-7. It's an amazing difference.
