Dave, nice DOF for shooting at f/4.5, HA, BG and perch are sweet and the prey brings an extra PLUS to the shot.
I'll have to make it out there this year...

Thanks Tim,
I normally don't shoot without my extender to often but the conditions were pretty dark and cloudy and I was trying to keep my ISO as low as possible. I removed my extender to keep the ISO down as low as I could. Notice the 1/320th shutter speed.
Yes I think that luckily the DOF @f4.5 did cover her pretty well.
I think it's going to be a good year this year so you got to get out here. Thanks again.

Drop-dead gorgeous shot, David. Beautiful bird, pose, perch and background nicely rounded off with an effective composition. The dragonfly is a bonus. Processing is excellent with great detail, tone and colour. Magnificent.

Very nice David. Lovely detail on the bird with a great looking pose. Fab perch as well. The dragonfly prey really takes it over the top, and finished well with a lovely BG. I am wondering why you never upped the ISO to get more SS.

Thanks William,
I really like my 1DX and I know you have the same body also but I am really not at happy with anything above 2000 ISO.
Maybe it's because I am fortunate and shoot in the the Sun a lot or the combination of looking at my images on a fairly large sharp monitor. I know you have the same monitor also and I'm sure that you really notice if an image isn't tack sharp or if it has a fair amount of noise in it.
Shooting at 1/320th of a second is a little tricky but I have learned over the years how to try to keep my rig pretty steady and I also over shoot quite a bit because I know I'm going to have some soft images.
Thanks again

Hi Dave, super show off pose with her meal, and nicely in the open too. We have a great view of her talons, and a great result with such a slow SS. Well captured. I would love to be able to see a subject like time and time again.
