David, you're being too hard on yourself. While 1200dpi isn't ideal by any means, the finch is sharp and I like the shot. I'm impressed that it was shot with a doubler on a 400mm Telyt while HANDHELD! That's no easy trick for most people.

It's an excellent shot IMO.

Thanks, Walker!

Actually, hand holding the 400 6.8 Telyt with a converter, while not easy, is not as hard as it would seem. The shoulder stock and pistol grip make a huge difference.

On my site (www.horizon.bc.ca/~dnr) on the wildlife page, I have 4 other shots (the middle row and the lower right) which are all hand held the same way.

Of course what I haven't shown are the ones from this configuration that I've thrown away!

Thanks for looking, and taking the time to comment. :)

David.
