There was only one Aplomado at the ranch that anyone found and it was my hour in the back of the truck. Windy, etc. Many shots taken and several were pretty good. This is one of the better ones. I hope it is not oversharpened this time. Also, check the second post on the last falcon post. I think I may have a slight clue better for sharpening. The electronic darkroom continues to evolve. Full frame, no crop.

This is really very nice -- more impressive is the use of your 10D and 2x for manual focus. Is this cropped?

I like this one better than the last one. Very nice.

Also, this post is a little too soon per the Posting Guidelines.

Steve, I like this a lot better than your previous post - excellent allround! :D My only (very minor) nit is a small speck of sensor dust - far left side, roughly the same height as the white part of the bird's breast.

cheers, Oliver
