Marc, FABULOUS image. Everything is just dead on. Love your DOF, the composition, even the lighting is nice. You nailed this one!

Love the wing-down pose, Marc. I used to use the Canon 100-400L IS the same way. MFD of 6 feet. You gotta love the flexibility and MFD of the top zooms!

Really like the BG transition from light to dark. Minor nit is the small hotspots on top of the DF, but in light that bright there's not so much you can do about highly reflective surfaces like that.

Sweet image. Love the color and dof. The image is so sharp and well focused. The wing position ROCKS!
Well done here.
