Canon EOS 7D Mark II
Canon IS 500 mm II 1:4.0 + TC 1,4X III - 1/2000s f/5.6 iso200 Full frame

That is a real striking and interesting pose. I'd be tempted to crop it into a vertical.

Love it! Have you tried cropping it so the bird is slightly to the left? I am only making that recommendation because of the shadow to the right.

Perhaps he's doing his best Arctic Hare impression! Great shot, Yves.

Nice pose from the Snowy. Always good to see a different pose or angle. I see the cropping suggestions but am not sure about a vertical pose...worth a try though.

Cheers
