[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 104720, member: 9240"] With wildlife my rule is that if I find 1 photo in 10 usable then I had a good day. 50% of my shooting over the last 2 years has been birds and it's taken me most of that time before I finally got a photo of a cardinal that I was happy with - and they are in my yard every day!! It's the joy and the madness of shooting something you have no control over. Nothing wrong with the photo at all. With zooms know that when you're at the extremes things are going to be a little softer than in the middle. As you get to know your equipment you'll get better results without thinking about it. I've even taken to going back to stuff I shot 18-24 months ago and reprocessing the RAW image as I've learned tons there as well, so shots that were OK are more shareable now as I've better learned how to fix mistakes, or just process the good ones. - one of the joys of Lightroom and RAW files. Keep at it. As was said, shoot a lot - digital film is free. [/QUOTE]
