Very nice, but not perfect. For a perfect image there would need to be bird poo as well. Exquisite snow detail, by the way ;-)

its always the equipments fault never an operator problem for the exquisitely sharp and perfectly composed leaves, bark, and branches i have shot over the years. thats my story and I'm sticking to it. if i say it really fast three times i will actually start to believe it.

I have all of those shots, except "why" I'll have to try harder.

I have many hummingbird poo shots, blurry of course. Fox images with only the feet in focus..well done post....live and learn....

We wouldn't love it so much if it was easy.

Why ask "why"?

**Lowell Goudge** · 07-14-2020, 01:44 PM

in another thread, i asked someone about a background they used for a macro shot, and they responded that they had a stock of out of focus cloudy skies. I responded i had a similar set of shots from my missed BIF shots

It takes a superior lack of skill to miss the entire bird. Poof!
