No focus

Primarily for No-focus fans (yes, there are some), I post this shot of a pair of very brightly-coloured yellow warblers jumping through the bushes at the bottom of our garden a couple of days ago. I had had a comparatively short lens on the camera and I reached quickly into the drawer for the long zoom I use regularly for birds. Without thinking much, I grabbed my old 80-200mm Tokina lens. It is a nice enough lens, but not autofocus, and -- again, I wasn't thinking -- it was *not* focussed on what I wanted. Sigh. By the time I got the regular lens on the camera, the birds were gone. Had they been in this picture, they would have been in the lowest quarter of the picture, about half-way across, near the pink of the picnic table in my neighbor's yard.
