Hey Ian,

I like the cropped version a lot more than the original. Many of my wildlife shots are heavily cropped.

Thanks!

Also, I have a question re: focusing. I've tried center point and maybe just
need more practice but it sure seems to me that more shots are out of focus
than in. What's the secret with AF? Should I stick with single shot or servo?
Servo being focus-until-shutter. I'm shooting in servo mode for the reason
things are moving (rapidly).

Many thanks in advance,
Ian
