    I think the double reflection in the eye is a bit of a distraction. I would probably remove the brighter one on the left. Just my 2¢.:D

    DB I have talked with more than 3 folks with 300's and they all have focusing issues --2 out of the box and going back ,mine is at Nikon now with another local shooters . Mine fell off the 500 on to the pavement in the parking lot --but worked and I got the coopers shot[posted here] with it that same day ,it seemed to focus better after it's fall ne_nau.gifMy complaint was bifs keeping the bird in focus headscratch.gif After I pick it up and talk with the tech I will pm you and let you know what he says .

    Good captures Dave. Sorry about you lens and I hope you get it back soon.

    I feel so bad about your lens I'm giving you a pass on that vermin shot.

    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!"
