Great shot Mitch !
I've been doing these all day and boy do they move !! To be really nitty picking- the pale bit at the bottom left corner is a bit off putting, and personally I think the whole bird could do to be a bit to the right with a bit more space all around. being a bit farther away or with a smaller aperture may have got the tail in focus.
Good stuff though.And no tape showing ! :biggrin: :wink: :smile:
Cheers

John has covered all the bases imo :wavey:

Looking back through your postings I make one observation - you do tend to use some very small apertures with your 500mm.

If you consult the MTF chart for your lens you will find that, at times, you are fighting the lenses optimal design parameters Keith - just a thought :wink:

If you want me to explain further just PM or email me...
