Agreed.

On shots like that, you have to take any perceived defects in context. At least that's what I always do. Capturing birds in flight requires a certain degree of skill. Getting sharp, detailed, perfectly composed shots of birds in flight more often than not requires a certain degree of luck.

PJ,
Yes it has defects, but it is still a nice catch of the bird in flight.

Nothing about this is right, I headed out to the local nature preserve

AF 1.7x adapter.  However I made a go of it anyway.  This is one of the best
shots from this afternoon.   Soft, with blown highlights, it was a dreary
flat light day, which I would have thought would lower the contrast range
enough to actually get good photos of Great Egrets...

But here it is anyway.

As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.

Don't lose heart!  They might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid
a lengthily search.
