The leaf reflections make sort of star effect, rays radiating outward, from the bird.

Re: PEOW: Pie-Billed Grebe
Okay, got it. I agree with ken -- a bit tighter crop would help. But it's an excellent shot. Paul -- Original message -- From: "Kenneth Waller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Great capture!

Great capture! If I had to have one nit about it - I would like more Grebe & slightly less surroundings. Still a very good capture, well executed.

One gripe: the bird is dead-center.

Except for flight shots with 1/1000 or greater shutter speeds I wouldn't handhold any long lens. The 250-600 would be great on a gimball style mount like the Wimberley and would probably work quite well on the Sidekick (for a lower-cost solution). -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
