The sun was about to set and this fella perched right in front of me on the branch and i had no choice other than increasing the ISO and this is the result. Slightly Sharpened on the wings and NR applied on the background.

Make	Canon
Model	Canon EOS-1D Mark III
Focal Length	560 mm
Exposure Time	1/1250 sec
Aperture	f/8
ISO Equivalent	500
Metering Mode	(-1)

I like the light and the focus and the perch. I think the crop makes the bird look "squished".
I think a vertical crop might look better.

Nice pose and catchlight on a great BG...Looks like it could use a touch more sharpening on the head as it lacks a bit of detail. And maybe touch more space on top
