[QUOTE="BeegRhob, post: 759272, member: 48712"] I am pretty sure it is your aperture, as Fred has mentioned. I am not sure how this forum works, but the shutter speed is off in all pictures, so your shutter speed is 1/2500, if I am right. So I am assuming your f stop is f2.5 in the second pic. I don't know if the ISO is off in the forum, but I think it is correct, so if you would, look at your EXIF data on your PC or in camera and see what your "exposure triangle" actually is. As Fred said, your aperture is small, number wise, so it would be better more open, larger number. If the f stop is actually f25, then it should have sharp focus nearer and farther, so aperture shouldn't be the issue. If it's f2.5, then switch to aperture priority (A) instead of shutter priority (S) and try F5.6, 8, and/or 11 and see how the sharpness turns out. The higher the number, the "deeper" the depth of field will be. Sooooo, if you do try these apertures, focus on the wildlife with autofocus, and switch to manual focus and don't bump the focus on the lens, lol.
