Nice image, Scott. I like the background. It looks like the "virtual" tail might have been cut off a little, but not a big deal.
I have a question, Scott. Is this a cropped photo? You didn't mention a crop. The reason I am asking is I am trying to evaluate images taken with the 7D II. The background on the larger image appears a bit noisy, thus the reason for my question.

Ralph -- its quite a large crop -- 26% (74% of the picture is gone)

Scott,
Very nice catch. Finding one standing still is something I have yet to experience. :toast:

Lovely image. The perch and background are excellent and you have some great detail in the subject. Perhaps a tiny bit brighter?
