    Excellent capture Jeff. When I get that blurring effect its because of some OOF foreground branch or other obstruction.

    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!"

    Carefull look shows me a branch waving in there that would be easy to miss in a small viewfinder.

    Just bad luck.

    Lost of images end up in the round file for this very reason,
    but I'm glad you kept and posted this one Jeff. The image itself is so strong
    that the little blurring doesn't affect it in the least
