I agree it might have been sharper had I closed the lens down a bit - but then I'd have had a slower shutter speed or a higher ISO so that might have added blur anyway.
But I'm pleased with the result - better than I was expecting before I bought into the system!

1/1250s is quite fast for an owl (Bubo bubo I guess). Ignore the ISO and the noise, first stop motion blur and get enough DOF. You can fight noise in PP, but you can't add DOF or freeze later.

PS: Just checked my Bubo bubo shot (see gallery): 1/250 f5.6, G1 @ ISO200, quite slow birds
