•  Support Very nice. It's a shame the left leg is out of focus, the DOF seems just a touch too narrow. The dead-center bird and slightly square framing is a little off-putting for me, but John Singer Sargent was criticized for his very square portraits too, sometimes : ) Nice mossy bough, too. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 02:55, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

•  Support I like the colors. If author happens to read me, is it a crop ? doesn't seem as sharp as the other pics despite the size (I'm thinking about Cephas). I'm also surprised it's still this sharp at 1/30sec, but I guess the (huge) lens rests on something. - Benh (talk) 08:16, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Its a crop, and getting sharp images at 1/30 with such focal lengths is a challenge even with support, so there probably is some motion blur in there. Even if the tripod was perfect the bird is still moving around. The Cephas pictures are taken in the sun at 1/400, which is a different ballgame to a dark jungle. JJ Harrison (talk) 09:19, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
    • Yes I was aware I must have been quite dark (f/4, ISO 400, 1/30) and that Cephas' pics are under better lighting. I was just a bit surprised a high end 500mm couldn't do better than a far cheaper 400mm f/5.6. Thanks for the explanations. Benh (talk) 10:45, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
      • Yeah, it was a situation where lens sharpness wasn't really a limiting factor. On a few occasions it was even worse than this (like 1/10 F4 ISO 1600). If I did it again I'd have taken some flashes and wireless triggers for these situations (this was taken from a portable blind). JJ Harrison (talk) 12:01, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
        • Sounds stupid, but I had to search for what a portable blind is (in case someone speaks english as "well" as I do). Must be a lot for you to carry by the way. - Benh (talk) 16:30, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
          • You are not alone. I did not know either. --Slaunger (talk) 21:52, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
            • I'm not certain, but my guess is Cephas uses blinds to some degree too. JJ Harrison (talk) 23:07, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

• No, but I'm thinking to buy one some days. --Cephas (talk) 14:03, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
