    The good news is that you held focus. Great shots.

    Easy problem to handle, next time shoot (and I don't mean with a camera) the jogger.

    Outstanding captures. #3 is brilliant. ylsuper.gif

    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!"

    rolleyes1.gif I reckon the bird took issue with you not asking for a release and so deliberately flew in front of the runner! Great shots thumb.gif What kind of bird is that?

    The first one is amazing that the focus didn't switch to the jogger - great detail. I'd go with Stephen's idea of cloning out the jogger.

    Thanks Ric! I probably would not have gotten the bif if he not spooked the kestrel.

    Thanks Mike! The runner spooked the bird, and I got a few bifs! It's a female American Kestrel.
