Dennis, I like the position of the bird (including the head position) and the light, but the bird doesn't appear to be in focus. Your settings look like they should work with handholding, if that's what you were doing and what you like to do, but you may need to use a different position or sit with your arms braced on your knees, etc.

I like the fluffed up look, Dennis. The Heron seems a bit soft to my eye which is odd, since the water looks reasonably crisp. Nice light.

Hello Dennis, should be a nice shot, however something's wrong - did you upload an extremely small file or ?? Cannot image it's this soft ? Hope you have a crisp and sharp original in your computer :wink: , greetings, Hans
