Another image of the Virginia Rail from Malhuer NWR. I worked the background on this image --removing some distracting blobs and smoothing it out a bit. Canon EOS 1D Mark IV ,Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM
1/400s f/5.6 at 700.0mm iso400

What I like best about this image is the view of the top of the back...very cool and this forgives the high angle:cool: Perfectly sharp on the face, and I like your comp with the concentric circles nicely balancing your subject. IS the slight vertical smudging halfway between the bill and the left edge caused by your BG tweaking, or there naturally? In any case, very well done!
