EOS-1D Mk III, 500mm f/4, 1/2500, f/5.6, ISO 800
About 80% of Full Frame

Photographed end of January in Plymouth, MA.
Finally got around to finishing postprocessing on this one.
Required lots of bill cleanup work.

Looking forward to your comments and critiques !<!-- / message -->

Wow Mike, an absolute beauty. You've held the whites perfectly and I like the comp, sharpness and BG. For me the bird is a little tight on top but there's not much to it.

Great angle, light and details. The beige part of the BG is a bit distracting but I would have been happy to see this beautiful bird.
