This is one of the shots I took of a Cooper's Hawk this morning. As I closed the distance to the bird with foot zoom and focusing on the eyes, I messed up and chopped he bottom of the sign and it's feathers. Live and learn.


2008 note: I re-edited the RAW file to this photo and copy/pasted the edit steps one at a time from the first 'Cooper's Hawk' photo. Pasting the steps one at a time improved the photo very much.

It's just fine cut off at the bottom like that. Soon you would have had to reframe anyhow, well maybe not that soon. Nice picture and I agree with "Lag" about the 80-400, a lens I would love to own! Someday!
