I am practicing my handheld technique with me 70-200. Tips are always welcomed.

I would like to see more of what the dragon fly is sitting on and not so much of what is above it. Maybe more of a portrait shot and not a landscape one might work better here. I like the pose of the DF though! Keep on posting!

This was the other crop that I used.

Very interesting perspective of a dragon fly!! For me, it's a bit noisy. Honestly, not sure if I could have done better! I will soon be purchasing the 70-200, and will probably come up with some worse shots....Don't give up! Keep practicing!!

The original is no where near this noisy. I never use my photoshop and seem to be unable to properly resize an image. The compression is way to strong. here is a link to the full size original.

I like the second crop much better, and since it's basically a 100% crop, not bad at all! nice shot. :)
