And while I would to take personal credit as a focusing expert, the sharpness is mainly due to the awesomeness of the 1D MkIV and 300mm 2.8 (with a 1.4tc). Also I was using a wimberly head on my tripod, and it is really good for tracking birds in flight.
Ahhh right, always forget about the compression.
