I agree. third pic is out of focus .when I took all the pics, about 50 or so, I was fiddling between program, aperture and tried a few on manual..which is beyond my level..want to find a good spot to stalk birds as they fly to the pond..also set up few feeders..all good plans, will see how it pans out.
If you really want good photos, you really need to learn how to use the different function settings on the camera. I used an 18-200 lens to capture a really nice BIF of a Peregrine Falcon. Being able to change up settings quickly without fumbling was why. The manual and C settings on my Canon 7DII help me capture those rare moments that come along.
So I would suggest getting the camera manual out, really get to know your cameras setup modes and even take some classes to learn more about light, exposure, composition. Lucky for me, Canon has a learning center with free lectures and classes. I am taking those as much as possible to help me improve the quality of my captures.
