Hi Joeseph -- I echo the above , at the first look i felt the same regarding the sharpness and clarity , to me it also appears that there is a camera shake .
Joe, it's certainly better, but if you look at some of the Avian images you have posted and compare them to this, there is a marked difference and I'm unsure why???
