Hello...This is a large crop, about one third of the original image. I had a small opening through some trees, and a fence directly in front of me, but I was still able to make a few exposures. The only thing in my favor was the early morning sun directly at my back. Thanks for looking…tom ffice:office" /> 40D 1/640 @f9 ISO 200 500mmf4 L +1.4x Tripod
Well done in a difficult situation but the steep angle to the subject is far less than ideal. The look-back head angle saved the day... SH and EXP good.
In situations like this you can always use the 2X TC instead of the 1.4X, move back, and focus manually. This will decrease the angle of inclination to the subject.
