Los Tres Mosqueteros - S.W Florida

Photographing birds in their habitat is a difficult thing. Everything has to come in play perfectly to get one image. This one from few weeks back. Not the best image but I like the way they were looking at me.

Not as sharp as I wish but that will teach me a lesson.

Hope you like it.

Canon 40D, 70-200mm L @ 235mm, f/8, 1.4X, 1/1000 sec, ISO 400, Manual Exposure, Handheld, Almost Full Frame.

Nice shot. I like how you got all three in the frame, and all sharp as well.

This looks pretty sharp to me, and love the detail on their heads.

From what I see the critical sharpness appears to be between them on the foliage? Still a nice portrait of the threesome. I like how the two on the edge are looking into the image and the third one, well is in another world. :D Well done Maxis. :)

Maxis I agree with Akos about the critical shrapening plane on the plants, not on the bird. the llight is a bit harsh and the white plumage looks really light but I like the composition in this image :-)

Were you using the center AF point? Hence why you learned a lesson Maxis?
