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

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

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!
