Helloooo!!!
Love the contrast between fuzzy and focused in this picture. The seagull is watching us...
Good to know that you are both doing well in your big adventure.

Nice focus and DOF. Good angle too. Jason is into bird photography these days. He sure will comment more here.
You will be happy to know that the guy teaching the bird class said his favorite lens next to his 500/4 is the 70-200 (he uses the 2.8IS but said the one you have f/4 is actually sharper than the 2.8 versions).
Anyway - the sharpness is evident in this beautiful shot - my only recommendation would be to have either cropped closer into the body or included the full tail instead of clipping it at the end ;-) - it works fairly well here because of the blurred background bird is positioned nicely to the edge.
Thanks for the details and suggestions Jason. The 70-200mm is an awesome lens ... the quality of color is definitely a step-up and I love the tight focus shots. :)
