Shot yesterday. This Dove landed at the edge of the dead tree near the water. The BG vegetation created very nice settings.
1D4, SIGMA 500mm f/4.5 EX DG HSM + 1.4X TC
1/1250, ISO-800, f/8, handheld.

EDIT: I toned down a little more the bright highlights as Ron suggested, thank you Ron.

Please click on the image for uncompressed view, thank you.

Excellent look back pose and resulting eye contact, Ludo. Maybe tone down a few of the bright areas in the background. The detail and sharpness of the dove could not be better. Good job!
