This is one of those images that just doesn't make the grade. I think it could have been a fine image. In the end, the picture is just too soft and no amount of sharpening is going to make it live up to its potential.
| Exposure | 0.067 sec (1/15) |
|---|---|
| Aperture | f/5.6 |
| Focal Length | 55 mm |
| ISO Speed | 1600 |
If we dissect the EXIF data, we can see a suspect in the shutter speed (exposure). Even when combined with an ISO of 1600 (the image was taken inside of a barn) 1/15th of a second is pretty slow for hand held shooting.
However, I suspect the real culprit is the fact that I was standing on tip toe, holding the camera above my head, and using the live view 2.75 inch display to focus. I don't see evidence of the shaking that you would normally see with long exposures. Instead of shaking, the entire image is just a bit soft. I think we can convict my bad attempt at focusing of the crime.

From a technical standpoint, you may be right. I’m not the expert here but from a viewer’s standpoint, I loved it.
I could just see them wondering who that was, why was he there and is he dangerous. Just look at the work that they put into that nest. What a neat picture.
I’m so glad that you posted this one.
