For all those wildlife shots that aren't the best but just average. :) ;D

Ran into these girls yesterday morning on my walk about town. I only had a 100mmL macro with me, so this is as close as I could get.

Spotted this fellow tonight. Shot after sunset, on the dark side of the river..... 7D2 at ISO6400, 1/100h second, Tamron 150-600 at 600mm, handheld, from a canoe, a 1-1 crop, and in the middle of the city of Ottawa. Considering the poor conditions and camera settings, I am pleased that it came out as well as it did....

I really like this picture!

way to heavily cropped and shot with too high of an ISO in poor light, but it does show how territorial the red-winged blackbird is, and how it will attempt to drive away anything that gets too close to its nest....

Hi Don.
Wow, wow. I can't see any problems with this shot, the subject is so compelling that all else is lost to the subject. You are being your own worst critic. :)
Thanks for sharing.

Cheers, Graham.
