Canon 10D ISO 800 1/50 f11 600mm + 3 Kenko extension tubes.

This bird was not tame by choice, it had a leg injury and died about an hour later in my hands. I have even closer shots of this peep, but this one gives back the mood of those last moment the best for me.

Comments welcome..

This is a nice shot. I was wondering why the eye was open like that. The story explained it. Sad story. :cry: Nice memorial. :D

Sad story. The eye seems to say it all. Good capture.

Definitely has a strong emotional feel. The detail is great.

Attila -

Unfortunate situation. Too bad about the bird.
As far as the photo goes, looks like you did a nice job with it, especially considering the amount of extension and the already high ASA setting.
