This was taken in Etosha National Park, Namibia.
The high ISO was caused by forgetting to adjust my settings from the previous night
EOS 1DX
200-400 mm F4 with 1.4 EX at 560 mm
F8
ISO 3200
1/8000, EV +0.33

Ken, is this a big crop? I would expect a little sharper image with better details. Maybe it's the high iso... Great looking bird, pose and composition though.

I'm guessing, you were shooting a flying bird and this gorgeous guy suddenly appeared and you didn't have the time to change your exposure setting and ended up with 1/8000 ISO 3200 ? It still looks pretty good, but could be better.

Nicely composed, Ken. Really like the prominent eye. Agree with the others it could use some more sharpness.

Thanks everybody it looks reasonably sharp in the TIFF but seems to have lost something in conversion
