A day of near misses...

[Sushigaijin]

took the long way home, and got a couple of decent shots.

And a couple of shots that should have been good - I HATE it when that happens. Here's my near misses for the day:

Shame about his left foot. Next time I'll tell him to tuck it in.


NARROWLY missed focus on this one...the focal point should be a half mm forward. Bummer.


And with the disappointments come success also.





Green heron foraging in the Chicago river...yuck!

- I feel your pain. Been there, done that......TOO MANY TIMES AND STILL GOING!!!!!

Seriously, any good photographer is going to experience this frustration, or they're not growing as a photographer. It's all about pushing the limits, and you ain't doing that if all your images are perfect.

If I had one good photo for every missed photo, I'd be on top of the world.
