    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

    This low angle shot is great. but it's left wing and leg looking weird. it feels like it's injured.

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