Francis, Both are nice shots. Too bad (as you said) about the lighting of the first one, but what can you do? You're stuck with what nature throws at you. As a document of finding and seeing the bird, it'll do just fine. As a photograph, the second works better for me - love that bokeh... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
