 8 v2/52 The Natural World - Kruger National Park (not a zoo!)

In reply to this image posted by Don a week after my mirror images started appearing in PAW 2012. Pushed the Gaussian Blur (Radius 250 pixels) to resemble a 500mm f/4 :)

I also prefer none or very subtle if you must PP out the tell-tale mirror lens circles of confusion (donuts).

Wow!!! What a difference! As much as I liked the bokeh, this background doesn't draw as much attention, thereby letting us fully appreciate the bird.
