He was after Squirrels but failed.
The light was very bad hence the low shutter speed and high ISO.

Great details and look-back pose, the low light worked well.

Karl, The details and clarity are excellent. I would never have known it was at 5000 iso. The bg couldn't be much better.

Excellent image, Karl- the high ISO and slow shutter speed, certainly had no effect here on the quality of the photograph. Always great to see birds of prey featured here.

This is drop dead gorgeous. The pose, BG, etc. are all perfect.
