Still as a portrait it ain't bad. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for the kind words. I've found that when I try to move to a smaller aperture I end up shooting at shutter speeds that allow too much movement and blurring. Seems like when the lighting supports those shutter speeds, the birds are taking a break. When they're active and posing for photographs the light is usually too dim to use an aperture that would keep the entire bird in focus. Decisions, decisions... "Slower minds keep right..."

I hear ya on the DOF, most of my shots have the tail either out of focus or slightly out of focus for just the reasons you expressed, when the light is optimal for smaller aperture settings, the birds are taking a break.

Grizz Cream of the Crop  More info | Love the composition and pose. The head is sharp so the shallow DOF does not bother me. Nicely done.
