Thought the AF did a OK job here - flying at you seems to be more difficult for the AF.

Sharpened and Cropped some from the top and bottom.

Comments welcome!!

Very nice shot Lance.

Head on with a slight head turn and eye contact seems right on to me.

I like the nice soft banding in bg.

[Mark Young]

Very nice perspective Lance. The AF has done a cracking job!

[Troy Lim]

Lance, very nice shot. Out of curiosity, what kind of AF settings are you using? AF-C? How abut all the setting in AF inside the menu?
Just wonder if we have the same settings.

[Kerry Perkins]

Nice one Lance, love the flight pose and details. Good looking bird!

[Arthur Morris]

Sweet. What's the common name of your OC? Could it be the Oz Oystercatcher?

Lance, Nice looking young one. The tighter crop works well here. I love the hanging feet!

No - its the hard to photograph in anything but soft light OC :)

thanks For the kind words.

Troy will check the settings and advice :)
