My version - 40D + 500 f4 IS + Canon 1.4x TC, 700 mm, f/5.6, ISO 800, 1/50 sec, bean bag. (Pardon the watermark, posting endemic photos this big is a magnet to pixel poachers. ;D) |

Thanks folks for the comments. ;D Here's another one of the same bird showing the whole profile - a very tough PP work . My color consultant (Pogito) took a while to finalize the WB because of the mixed lighting (sunlit BG and shaded bird/perch). The very high ISO required extensive NR on the BG too. 40D + 500 f4 IS + Canon 1.4x TC, ISO 1250, 1/50 sec, f/5.6, manual exposure in available light, bean bag:  |
