hi Jon ... nice try and the dynamic pose is quite excellent , but the af failed imho . the sharpest focus is lying on the rock .
colors looking great , tones as well .... maybe a bit brighter would work better .
comp ... I wish the bird would have been higher in the frame .
sounds like I am giving you a hard , as you said recently , just try be honest with my thoughts .
let's see what others might think
Andreas, that's fine, it is a little borderline on the focus, it wasn't a Procapture image, I was chancing this one, I feel it is nearly there but not 100%. The lores aren't far out but the bill is a little soft. I have noticed the 300mm with MC20 is consistently producing shots just a tad off ideal focus. I also suspect 1/3200 sec may have been better.
well Jon ... to be honest the focus is off , the leg is significantly sharper than the face lying in the same focal plane as the dominant rock front. personally I think it is the a AF issue and maybe not the lens ... but I can only guess
