Spotted owlet

[Arya Sachdeva]

Dear all
I clicked this photo on the out skirt of Sultanpur
Canon EOS 5D mark II+400mm
1/400s
Focal length-265.0mm
f/6.3

[Bhargava Srivari]

Why 265mm when you had another 135mm to play with?

Also, more brightness would be good.

Arya,
The image is soft. When you are shooting against the light, due to lack of contrast, the camera may lock focus on high contrast areas which wont be to your liking. Especially when the subject is surrounded by vegetation, you can try manual focusing as well.

Cheers,
