Oh brilliant comment there S. Whitehorn . Still sitting in your mother’s basement wearing pajamas, popping zits and whacking off to pictures of women you can never hope to meet are you? The mark of a truly stupid person is one who makes such ad hominem attacks. I note that before coming to this page you were on the one praising Alan Grayson – that’s pretty much all I need to know to deduce you are a Republican. probably a tea bagger, and you don’t like having the truth thrown in your face. Too bad. I suggest you spend less time watching Faux Fox News and more time getting an education.

I was looking at your photograph of your cat at the bird feeder. It isn’t very sharp. With no data on lens, Fstop etc. it is difficult to see why. I did notice some purple fringing along the top edge of the white cat. If that was done with the kit lens, that could be the problem. The kit lenses are usually but not always soft. I’m a canon shooter and found when I buy a lens if I use it properly and still get soft pictures it could be the lens. I send the lens in to canon for adjustment and they always return them very sharply adjusted. This was just a few kind thoughts to help make your photography more rewarding.

I think the fuzziness is mostly due to the fact that I was shooting through two closed windows that also were not that clean
