First i thought that i need a new camera but i came to the conclusion that the lens is doing the picture, forget about the cam. 70-300 is sugar ! :-)) --Richard Bartz 19:19, 28 January 2008 (UTC) [reply]

  •   Comment Marvellous timing. I like the small water droplets very much. Two things I was wondering about: I get the impression that the already nice composition could be improved slightly by cropping a little off the left-hand side. I may be wrong, but have you tried experiementing with that? Next observation: the left wing as seen front on - the three outhermost feathers are much more blurred/out-of-focus than the rest of the wing. I realize the DOF is doing much of this, but is it all due to DOF? The transition between the in-focus part of the wing and the three blurred feathers looks a little peculiar to me. Has the three feathers been included in a BG blur to bring out the subject better or is it all "natural"? Sorry for such a long comment without even placing a vote -- Slaunger 21:20, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I dont thought about this before, but i asume it's motion blur because the big outer feathers which are pointing to the right side are on the same focus-plane as the torso. So the movement of the outer-wings was faster than a shutter speed of 1/1250. If you think a different crop would help, why not doing a alternative version where Creative Commons is for? .. and always welcome. --Richard Bartz 21:58, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  Oppose I prefer the other version. -- Slaunger 11:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
