How much did you crop (if at all)? I'm surprised you used a flash because I don't see a catchlight in the bird's eye as expected. If I were you, I'd stop down to f8 and drop the ISO to something a bit less noisy. I think it's a chipping sparrow, but i don't have a field guide next to me to confirm. -- Christian ------------------------------------- http://404notfound.blogspot.com http://birdofthemoment.blogspot.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
