Spring Rufus 2 with vertical image repost
iso 200, f5.6, 200th sec, 500mm plus 1.4X, D700
The gorget is a little dark here but highlights got overblown when sun came out. There is another image posted in avian...This is about 10% of original frame.

Looks perfect to me. Nice crop, with lots of space given to the facial side of the little guy.
