Hamilton Ontario, Canada
D300 - 200-400 VR + 1.4 TC
1/500s f/8.0 at 550.0mm iso320

Hand held, natural light, vertical crop

Hiding behind some pine trees, ( and shooting through them) this bird allowed me close enough for a shot or 2, while on foot.

I like the "spy" feel on this one, very nice perch and profile pose, a bit of S&H could help as well as a bit more saturation. Congratulations1

Really very nice atmosphere on this image,congats!
