1D mark IV, 300 2.8 with TC 1.4X

ISO 800, f6.3, 1/3200,

hand helded

Lovely color on the bird, liking the downswept wings and smooth backdrop, if it was a little sharper it would be nicer, but these birds are fast movers so it's a challenge to get any shot....overall still nicely done

Good looking bird, and you have a nice view of the wing colours here. Too bad the subject is past you at time of shutter actuation, and the face could use another round of sharpening for web posting. The tail is sharper so looks like critical focus was not on the face, but as Phil says, it is not an easy image to create with these speedy flyers!
