OK, it's a bird on a stick (perhaps?), but have been trying to achieve the muted BGs we all try for. Probably could have gone to ISO800 with hindsight just to get a faster shutter speed :wavey:

MKIII 500f/4 1.4x f/7.1 1/320 ISO 400

Nice one Stephen.
A little bit central for me but no big deal. A bigger crop might help a bit too- it looks like it would stand it.
Cheers

Why do you think it needs a faster shutter speed? It looks nice and sharp as it is. Agree with John, bit more of a crop may help but i like it as it is, birds on a stick aren't that easy!

Agree a bit to central and possibly a little flat on this monitor but a good record shot.
