Almost. It's just a little soft, otherwise it would be!. I have given up on trying to capture butterflies and small birds. I'll take my rocks as they don't move so much.

Hey Ric
Yep closer still
IMHO this one could of benefited from a tad fill flash

Otherwise your small bird shots are "Moving on Up" :thumb

That's a nice shot Ric. :thumb I just wish that the eye hadn't been in the shadows.

This is what I'm after as far as detail goes...not a good shot either though.

There is no substitute for getting closer and filling as much of the frame as possible. I don't think I could get many shots with a 400mm prime...and the smaller zooms just ain't got what it takes...catch 22! :rolleyes
