What does it matter whether the glass is half full or half empty.

Well I was just driving along minding my own business when I saw this guy out
of the corner of my eye, in a pond not 20 feet from the road. Of course when I
got out to the car to take his portrait, he immediately flew to the opposite
side of the pond, but a little patience was rewarded when he caught a fat fish.

Now the bad part, I shot half the images at really high ISO with an extra stop
of exposure dialed in because I forgot to reset everything after using the
camera yesterday. Even after correcting the ISO issue, I didn't notice the
extra stop of exposure until after I finished shooting, so I blew out all the
whites, (shooting a white bird, go figure). Finally in spite the fact that not
only did the bird appear to be in focus in the viewfinder, and the center spot
AF gave a nice green glow to the hexagonal focus confirmation spot anytime I
placed it squarely on bird, the best focus is still about a foot in front of
the bird. How the heck are you supposed to correct for front focus in a manual
focus lens anyway...
So I processed the image with a faux Kodachrome 200 look using DXO Filmpack,
because heck, with Kodachrome almost no one managed to not blow out the whites.
Equipment: Pentax K5II w/smc Pentax A*300mm f4.0.
As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.
