Quote: Very nice. Can you help me understand the difference between sharpness and clarity?
I will try my best. I have a lot of so called shape images but at times they lack defination where there is depth to the picture. In the case it would be the Heron's feathers. don't know if that makes sense or not? I am still not all the way there yet to make the picture truely stand out. Hopefully I am getting closer! Thank you for looking and commenting. JIM
Quote: Two very nice shots Jim, it's not easy to separate them from the background in grass like that.
I agree Henrich on the background. I just need to find a Heron not stuck in the grass! Thank you. JIM
Quote: The grass has been my main problem both with herons and bitterns. The bird often enough looks fine, but the grass as a background looks crummy.

Not disagreeing at all. Thanks for you input! JIM
Quote: can you pass some of those tips Jim?
We have quite a few herons in Regent's park and since it's gettin nice and warm I'm feeling the urge to take my K400 for a "hunt"...
BTW those shots look good to me, good effort

Thanks bud! I am not there yet but will let you know when I am and I can share my thoughts better. work in progress. JIM
Quote: Very good. I like #2 , the heron is tack sharp. I also like the bubles in #1 , but the grass is a little distracting around his head. Super job Jim.
