Looks like you're taking advantage of the new wheels!   Any thought on putting some dual sport tires on that thing?

I guess bokeh isn't one of the 100-400mm strong points

It's definitely a tight crop along with highpass overlay (0.9) and that's about it..  Didn't mess with it much at all.  I really REALLY like this lens.  IS is also awesome, I'm a firm believer now

 Don't do the high pass on the background
  . 
 Now go take pictures of birds and planes...

I'm to lazy to make another layer with just the chipmunk, lol!
 I should have some great bald eagle shots next week on my fishing trip.  Hopefully a few bears/foxes as well.

Yeah this is pretty much the only place I go that's got them with any consistency..  We usually bonk (kill) a pike and feed the bird with it  
 I wish I had this lens last year, my 70-200 just wasn't long enough.. they are a bit spooky (Not a lot of human interaction up here)

I probably fucked up it up with highpass as Kevin mentioned.
 User error for sure, lol.

Oh bill, your shots could get so much cleaner with some improved editing techniques.  
 Dude, I REALLY suck at editing/cleanup.  Here's that bluebird I was talking about.

Dude - lol - you need to stop sharping/highpassing the background - lol.  Seriously....  This is a great time to learn to mask better.  Or try Lightroom 4, it's got a lot better than LR3.
 But yes, that is a great shot.

 That's why I said try LR4...  It's got a few simple controls that will allow you to mask quickly and it's easy.  Or as I said, time to learn to mask better (I suck at it too, but getting better).

layers are what ps is all about.  
 And masking is dead easy with a Wacom tablet.  Use a zero hardness brush and draw in the mask, fuck selection tools.
 You may be getting a pm in the future.  I've been looking at tablets lately... as I hate selection tools.

That's one pissed off looking blue bird. 
 About 30 seconds later he was in the grass eating a few bugs..  I think he was lining up his next meal.
