Roy, sorry to be a pain, but I'd like the see all of the original image, un-touched by anything except jpg conversion. (Can we ask the mods to relax the rules just this once to allow an over-size file? Or email it to me and I'll host it on my server for a few days while we all ponder it.
The reason I ask is that I'm starting to wonder if you have a focus problem - I'm wondering if the focal point isn't maybe a bit in front of the bird, in which case you may have a problem with the lens. (Damn it, if you weren't half a world away, I'd say let's slip out after work tomorrow and swap lenses for a half hour. See what your lens produces on my 20D and my 100-400 does on your 350D. That would tell us a lot.)
