The image certainly isn't lousy. Great capture!

Sure, practice makes perfect but, unless you learn from your mistakes, you are only perfecting your ability to fail.

Hi Randy,
Nice shot. Good detail, and lovely background. Well done.

This image was shot at 200mm, ISO 400, 1/500 sec. @f-8.0 on a Nikon D200 set to center weighted metering. The closest focus distance with the 80-200 is 1.6 ft. This image is about a 50% crop of the original image.

Nice shot - clean and sharp.. the crop gives a really pleasing composition.
