Here's a good example of the 300 f2.8 VR (with no TCs :eek: )-

Nice bokeh?

Thanx, it's nice, isn't it :)

I have a bunch of actions that I run all my shots through to downsize & post them, so perhaps I should have 'softened' them a bit.

Locket- I was about 10-12 yards away.

That is a crop, here's a full-frame resize for comparison.

Here's a 1:1 crop of the Bee area.

I used NC 4.3 for this (7 day trail). I think I like the results better, but boy is it KLUNKY. Makes HSV2 look like butter :)

Keep in mind that it was the bee's idea to be in the shot at all as I was trying to get the flower. This is my order when I go out -shoot animals, no animals? Shoot birds (I know, they're still animals), no birds cooperating? Shoot bugs... no bugs worth a darn? Shoot flowers.. no flowers.. shoot self.

Okay, just kidding about the last part!
