Razor sharp closeups of birds just show they are reptiles with feathers
and not always good looking. Its their grace in motion or repose that
makes them worthy subjects.
I do agree I prefer a little more room in front of moving objects
generally even if I have to crop it. On the whole P.J. I think this
photo works om most levels and needs no demure from the photographer.

Subject: PESO -- With more egret.
Nothing about this is right, I headed out to the local nature preserve thinking
I'd packed the A*300 my bag. But no I hadn't I had the Vivitar s1 70-210 which
is a pretty nice lens, but just doesn't like working with the AF 1.7x adapter.
However I made a go of it anyway. This is one of the best shots from this
afternoon. Soft, with blown highlights, it was a dreary flat light day, which
I would have thought would lower the contrast range enough to actually get good
photos of Great Egrets...
But here it is anyway.
