Hi Jim and all,

>Well, as usual, Doug Herr was right. I tried moving closer to the bird
feeders today. Without a blind,
I think this is the key here...

All pictures in this post are great, but this one is stunning! It does look
like taken with a much shorter lens... Once again, closer is better.
>Two others, from about 18 ft:

Great sharpness, nice textures, beautiful shot. f/6.3 seems a great
performing aperture for this lens -- not that wide open is any bad, of
course.

Even wide open, great results. I like the bright red on it. Despite the
shallow depth of field, focus is spot on!
BTW, your last finch pictures are equally great. Congratulations.
Cheers,
