benrowef64 17/06/2014 The content and context of the shot is strong and this is why the shot works, even if a little soft. Reply
Mark Simms 17/06/2014 Cheers Ben……my 75-300mm is a little soft at the long end and this is also quite heavily cropped. Reply
Vicki 17/06/2014 I think it’s the composition and where the birds appear in the frame Mark. Sometimes photos just ‘work’ and are pleasing to the eye – and not dependent on the sharpness of the focus to succeed. Reply

I agree…..better to get a half decent shot than none at all 😊
Preach!
It really nice to capture bird landing on the water
Thanks Nelson

My sigma 28-300 is the sam, even at its sharpest aperture.
