Is that due to distance, "Bubo's" location amongst the branches, or have you just spoiled us with wonderful images packing gorgeous bokeh'ed to heck backgrounds in your images?!? :-) <<< The 280mm f/4 APO + 2x extender has a maximum effective aperture of f/8, and I stopped it down a 1/2 stop (to try getting a little more DOF) so that's f/9.5 or so, plus there isn't much distance between Bubo and the branches.
