Great EXP and lovely image design but with that perch I would have gone for a super-long focal length.

Agree Artie, He was there only a moment so no time to snap on the 50D body and a 1.4x. Got a few with the 5D Mark II. However, with that file I can crop it a lot closer. Will do that and repost at lunch.
I actually like it as it is, the perch not being cliped makes it work very well for me, light, pose, detail, exposure and comp are terrific. Congratulations!
Hi Robert: It was great to have the opportunity to shoot with you again last weekend. I actually like this picture as is. I am sure you have many pictures of up-close snowies in breeding plumage. What I like about this one is that you have a gorgeous bird actually "adorning" a bare tree. There's something about the stark contrast of the two that is appealing to the eye.

Here is the more cropped version. Cannot help but clip the branch on the right side now. The Canon 5D Mark II really gives you a lot of options with its high-res IQ.
