    Very nice Ric. The "feel" of the overcast sky is still there which make it special.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I don't know about focus...but sure would have been nice if you composed so the bird wasn't smack dab in the middle.. I think a bit of cropping and you'd have a nice shot.

    Yeah...I always use the center focus point when using "one shot", then focus/recompose. Then I switch to "AI Servo" for birds in flight, and don't reset the focus point. :whip My bad.

    Usually the birds are so far away...I can just crop for composition. (a bad habit) rolleyes1.gif

    I don't have a means to crop while on vacation using the laptop.

    Its a really fine shot. I love the close-ups but its harder to get a good environmental shot. thumb.gif I agree with jeff about the comp though.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks. :D

    The focus was all I was worried about! I think I can fix the rest.
