[QUOTE="pictaker64, post: 230445, member: 18065"] I lightened it up a bit and recropped,just so I could work on it,course you lose more with the recrop,and add noise but it is what it is..single point focus without a doubt for shooting bif,lay it right on them and pull the trigger :p ...might take some practice but you should get used to it.I leave both eyes open and follow the bird till I get it in frame and click..what aperture you at? sometimes shooting wide open will make you lose a lot of detail...step it back to 9 and see how it goes.You want detail,but if your not getting focus,it will never happen....are you shooting raw?jpg? raw will help you with post processing,more data to use for the proggies,plus if you are a little short on light(like the hawk shot) you can bring it up two steps without losing anything....I have rambled enough,I am sure there are plenty of pro's here who can chime in...
