PESO - Another Tree Swallow
I may like this tree swallow more than the one from a few days ago ~except~ for that bright yellow oof bit in the bottom left. Do you think it's too much of a distraction, or can you live with it?

Its a hit a miss but i'm now getting the odd shot like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/djbrooks/7252554432/in/photostream Pretty much in focus, and then at times i get this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/djbrooks/7252554372/in/photostream Nothing will be in focus no matter how hard i try or use AF or MF. Not sure what going on, the lens worked very well with the istD and k-10d. Any thoughts?? Dave If it's not the SR going crazy Like P.J. suggested, then I'd say you have a loose lens element in the lens. That picture reminds me of a lens I partially took apart to clean the diaphragm blades, and then couldn't remember the correct sequence for the rear 3 elements. I tried various combinations, and the least crap one (though incorrect) produced photos like that.

Excellent lighting for the subject. Two points: 1 - I think it's the ferns that make this shot. There were plenty of other trillium around but this was the best opportunity for a good composition because of the ferns. 2 - Bloody 'ell, I *just* now noticed that this isn't a trillium - it's a quadrillium (a mutant with four petals and four leaves)! I didn't notice while I was shooting it and I've been looking at the photo without noticing for days.
