Local capture, healthy crop, Skimmer on beanbag from vehicle window.
Had time for 3 shots before he was gone. Next time I'll remember to take my 2X with me when I go out. :oops:

20D, 500 w/ 1.4, ISO 200, f/8, 1/1000

Very nice, Ed. There's a lot of wood in this image, so I thought I'd provide an alternate crop. You (and I) may prefer the original, but I thought the option would be interesting. Hope you don't mind.

Thanks, Sandy. I thought about that but was afraid to try it since the crop was already very healthy.

Nice one. The red on blue is nice. The tree is a tad overwhelming. I like Sandy's crop.

I like Sandy's crop too. Crop away on the 20D! Nice image.

I like Sandy's version since the two trunks seem overpowering ...
Good shot, Ed!

Nice light on this bird and the OOF blue bg is nice. Sandy's crop does improve it for me.

Hey Ed, I like the shot both ways! Very nice. Just curious if you used the Skimmer with a c-10 or a Wimberley head or ballhead or what?
