    Great catch. Nice and sharp. It's so hard to get the bugger in focus. It usually moves around so fast.

    I can imagine just how hard that was to do at 300mm. Need a slow
    bee like these guys to even give ya half a chance. Excellent color
    and the sharp is so right there. :D

    Indeed! But he finally settled a few times and I got a hand full of good shots! :D

    The shocking part was the sharpness, bokeh, and color the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR produced. Wow! It's probably the best consumer tele-zoom I've ever used! bowdown.gif
