Congratulations. Takes acuity! Thanks, Jack. Actually the egret in flight is a very tight crop. maybe only 25% of the original frame so I was able to place it wherever I chose :-) As for focusing, I had to sharpen it quite a bit because it was kinda soft. Over the weekend I was doing a lot of birds-in-flight type pictures and I have to admit to being EXTREMELY frustrated with the 20D's focus tracking (or lack there-of). I had better results manual focusing with the *ist D. Next time, I'll try manual focus and see if i get a better hit rate. I just wanted to test the 20D's capabilities this time. Thanks for looking!
