I got this today -- wish it were more of an environmental portrait, but thought I'd toss it out anyway.
Canon 5D Mk III, 600mm II. Big Gitzo with Wimberley II. ISO 800, f/4.5, 1/5000 sec. I don't think I needed all that shutter speed and might have gone to a smaller aperture, but at the small size it was in the frame I had enough DOF anyway. Didn't have time to change the ISO -- had just been shooting some with backlight when this one materialized. I'm lucky I got on it.
Basic LR tonal adjustments then to PS CS 6 for a very low touch of Nik Detail Extractor, and added a little canvas on top. No sharpening beyond the LR default and no noise reduction. This is a big crop -- 14% of the original frame. I get a higher percentage of sharp images of BIF with the straight 600 instead of adding the 1.4X, although I'd certainly like more pixels on the subject.
