Nice capture Wade. The bird's eye looks amazing and I like the jagged stump.

I like the way the lighting hits the feathers on it's back. Well executed image!

Good light. I like the way the line of the log is continued through the bird its face. I like the simple background and colors. One question: How did you get f6.3 with a 2x extender on an f4 capable lens?

Erik, I post the f stop I use as it pertains to dof. I think everyone knows that with a 2x you lose to stops of light, but that it doesnt change the dof.

Nice Wade. Perfect timing with the bird turning and looking back.
