Again, at 1600ISO! arrggghghhhh!

Have cleaned it up a bit using Neat Image, but still not the 'print-it and keep it' pic it could have been...

I think it makes a good argument for controlled use of flash when photographing birds :) (SB800 on TTL-BL)

Whether you missed it with this one or not, you have a great eye for composition and will be able to create many great "keep and print" images in the future. A delightful image - thanks for posting.

Sheepie, like Craig, I like this a lot. Can't tell at this size if it is in focus, but other than that it looks perfect :wink:

Look at this fellow. He looks like he's challenging you the little badass. Great pic man, there is all this blurry action around him, yet he's tack sharp.

I've never been able to catch one of these guys, they're so.. ummm, flighty???

Great capture... He seems really sharp.

Cheers,

Are you dumping smugmug. If so for what?

Sheepie.

I'd be more than happy with this shot. My only (tiny) criticism is that the vignette blur is a little too close to the bird.
