[QUOTE="Stoshowicz, post: 369414, member: 31397"] I think its cropped , I usually do some basic adjustments and drop the big Raw file. This duck is a clearer example , the wing is still blurred at double what folks ordinarily use on BIFs. Im thinking the lower margin of the feathers should be as crisp as the leading edge but they arent. [ATTACH=CONFIG]119535[/ATTACH] If I pan with the birds motion , I really shouldnt need much shutter speed to freeze it, The autofocus should be keeping up with the rate of approach ,so the shutter speed should really oniy be helping much for wing motion. Maybe the VR optical element made a shift during the exposure ? Maybe its just the tip of the wing is fastest , but at this point in the flap , the wing shouldn't be moving very fast up and down , it should be going towards or away from the sensor, and the blur should go all the way around the feather.
