Thanks for another awesome guide on photoshop Glenn! I think I have watched all your videos and I use many of the techniques from them. One of the most difficult stages of editing for me is cropping. I have edited thousands of bird photos already and I still struggle to get the crop right on some of my images. I generally try to keep to the rule of thirds but it can be difficult when trying to get a tight crop; if there is a reflection (water birds); and if the subject has a really long tail.I believe that most people prefer a tightly cropped image but I don't like sacrificing on image quality, which often happens when I'm shooting with my 400mm... Do you have any tips for cropping images? When is it ok to cut out a part of the subject to get a tighter crop? Thanks.

I just picked up a 400mm f5.6 for my 7d mk ii and for some reason I am having trouble getting sharp photos. I calibrated it to the best of my ability so I'm lost now. Doesn't mater what shutter, aperture, ISO. Any ideas?

+Chris Walt could be your AF settings or you might need to micro adjust the lens. Technique also matters, if you aren't shooting in hard mid day sun its going to be difficult to handhold that combo. I got some good shots with that lens but its only good under good conditions or on a tripod. I switched to the 300f4IS and I'm much happier for general shooting or lower light scenarios.
