It's a nice shot, colors, detail, background are all really nice. One gripe: the bird is dead-center. If it was offset to one side or the other I think the composition would work better. > Even with the long zoom (FA*250-600/5.6) I found I had to be pretty > stealthy to get into a position to make a few capture of these > skittish birds.

Except for flight shots with 1/1000 or greater shutter speeds I wouldn't handhold any long lens. The 250-600 would be great on a gimball style mount like the Wimberley and would probably work quite well on the Sidekick (for a lower-cost solution). -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
