Nikon D2x plus Nikon 300mm f4 lens on tripod from a photo blind. ISO 200; 1/640th @ f5. I should have stopped this one down more to keep the tail in focus. And of course he (?) had to blink just as I snapped the shutter. Other than that I like well enough to have on my computer as my desktop BG.
Nice BG and the calling pose and spiderweb makes this very interesting. Exposure looks good. I find the OOF branch on the left a bit distracting, but it's not a big deal and I would do another round of sharpening.
As above. The eye looks fine but it is the bird facing slightly away that hurts the image...
later and love, artie
