Okay - here?s the base image - downsized to 90% since 100% is over my 
per/image SmugMug limit.

If you click on the image it?ll expand to 1:1.

I?m not sure I really like the bokeh of the 250 here. 

f 4.0
1/250th
ISO 500

It was breezy that day. The OIS is quite good: both in-body and in-lens 
stabilization going on.
