    Awsome picture!! I love the timing, the light and exposure, the BG also very much contributes for the copulating birds ;)
    In this case I would rahter use ISO 400 at f10 to try to achieve from edge to edge sharpnes at the birds.

    Regards,
    Nikolay

    I remember this one. Great details and exposure control. Normally I would wish for more space for her 'virtual legs' but I'm not sure that would add to the image in this case.
