Despite the fact that a highly detailed closeup of one bird is a great accomplishment, as any who've tried know too well, there are many other photos containing birds in other forms that can be pretty damn cool (although mine aren't). A bit of experimentation with saturation & re-curving might yield some improvement. By the way, the cover of the magazine Chicago Wilderness Spring 2004 has a teriffic example of a single sand hill crane in profile. I may hafta scan it and post, it's so definitive. Having said that, I'm on my 4th roll shooting some birds with the 400 Telyt and shoulder stock. Chicago is a great migratory stopover and my wife has been getting me up at 5:30 am to go birding with her. First unedited views can be seen at www.pbase.com/bobsworld/critters. Bob Palmieri
