Love the color and tonality, lighting and detail, Mike.

Have you ever used an AlienBees Bokeh, plug-in to soften the background like an expensive f2.8 or wider lens? It works well with sharp images, but is nearly impossible with those that aren't...I've learned the hard way.

A fast lens put all the focus on the bird and none on the background.

Bunny - Thanks for the info. I have not used that plug-in. - Mike #8533175
