I must say, this turned out nicely. This is a well-cropped jpg image, with highlights tweaked and sharpness bumped up in Picasa. I was leaning against the car, so well-supported but hand-braced. That's all right for 300mm f/7.1 by my standards. When I click on it here & bring it up to full size, it's easy to see the 'crazing' pattern that Picasa's sharpening created though.
