           | Yeah, Gayle, I have a 75-300 zoom but I just got my most-favored 17-85 Image Stabilized lens back from Canon, and it was all I had on me at the moment.

           | I had my (effective) 28-135 zoom on my camera, and was at max telephoto. In fact, I cropped out a significant amount of the shot to zoom even more (one pleasant benefit of shooting at 8+ megapixels) but I wanted to keep a piece of the palm tree in my shot.

           | hi, like the position of bird within framing of shot,but you should have used your zoom to get more details,eh? (smileys are not showing next to my comments...any idea why?)
