Jack, It was not cropped at all. It was shot with 17-70/4, at 70mm. This lens tends to be soft at the longer end (beyond ~50mm). Since it was a catch of the moment, - I did not have time to change the lens to the 50-135/2.8 that would've done a better job.

In either case, I do not see how that would help. Wed Dey 4 16:07:41 EST 2013 Ken Waller wrote: > >I hate to say this, but it needs to be cropped, or you needed a longer > >lens. I was thinking about it, but something stops me... Probably the fact that the bridge than will be cut off.. But may be you are right and some cropping would help. > And some means of elevating your shooting position. Not realistic unless you have a helicopter. It was shot from a boat.
