Allen, you need to open up the aperture so as to use selective focus to its best. f/8 is too deep a focus. Next time, use the lens wide open. That could blur the netting behind the bird a bit.

Lovely colors RAART.
Out this way, the color is winding down save for the occasional stubborn hold-out

Thanks. Here are just changing... In this local park half of the trees are still green and others are yellow or reddish. I guess one more week before change is done.

Shot late this afternoon. We still see a lot of damage caused by the heavy storm that hit northern Germany quite badly over the weekend.

This was taken as an abstract shot with the K-3 and the Pentax 18-135. It's the ceiling of the rotunda at the New Mexico state capitol in Santa Fe.
