Hi Fabs, these zooms aren't easy to pull off and I have a lot in my trash bin to prove it! However, I like this image and it really draws the eye into that sandhill crane.

Hi Fabs, this sure is out of the box. IMO these zooms are one of the most difficult blurs to do...you did quite well...but I'm not really sure if it really works well here with such a small subject.
