This still decent looking individual was starting to get a little too close, and in that awkward zone of size in the frame, but luckily turned towards me to stretch which minimized the space it occupied in the frame. I was hoping for tight portraits after the stretch, but it turned to our left again and resumed its merry way out of there!
Canon 7DII + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC III, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/400s., f/7.1, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, FF, eye clean up, warmed up the image a bit. I now see a white speck or two on the breast-band that needs to go...
Nice low angle and cool pose on this little guy. I like the background and that's the perfect amount of out of focus foreground for me. Well done

Ditto all the positives above. Not injured, just stretching one wing. I love the soft light.
