Shortie in evening sun
1D2n, 600mm f4 is x1.4. 1/1250s, f6.3, iso 400.

Today, I was privileged to have the company of a guest who hadn't photographed SEO's for a decade or so. Thankfully the birds obliged and gave a spectacular display, albeit a little further away than we would have wished. The temperature was well below zero and we were pretty numb, but who cares? This was taken in the last rays of the sun. The background is dark heather and grass on the opposite side of a valley.

A lovely image, in great light. Don't know if I would loose the bit of ground. Seems to work both with and without it!

Looks great, love how the eyes stick out even more than usual due to the dark B/G.....

Nice work.
