This looks good Dan.
I like the fluffed up feathers and the hint of blue sky.
Nice and sharp.
Whites are hot on the thigh- did you try any recovery there?
I also like the clear view of the talons curled up on the perch. Perch is what it is- a bit stark.

Really like this Dan.So it is your slightly less favoured set up ie . the 500pf plus 1.4 at the 'equiv.' of 1050mm. Have you got a bit more blue on the left perhaps? That would perhaps frame this bird as well.
Thanks Ian, I wish I had more blue, but this is early morning, just not much color.
Funny, I never think in terms of 1050mm. 700mm for me is almost too much, I cut wings.
The 500pf with the extender is like shooting with older camera AF. Hit and miss, a challenge but
when you can get focus, I like the results.
Gail, I think that patch is gone, not much there. The Osprey white head is also really hard
to get detail in.
This was in soft light and I still could not get it right....
Randy:
Thanks for the comments.
Yes the TC14III.
It is hit and miss for flight for me. Kind of fun since I get to shoot
a lot and can goof off with it when I have good light.
It is fine on the 500pf for perched shots.
Maybe people like Arash can get consistent flight shots with it, I can't.
It will grab and lose focus, like the old AF systems.
When you get nice F8 flight shots with a distant BG, they can be very good I think.
The TC14III and the old TC17 work terrific on my 300 f2.8.
Almost the same as shooting without them.
