I shot this with a 100-400 with a 1.4x converter and still had to crop.
So what do you think?
Birds are too d&^#m small and too d*&#m quick.
I admire those of you who have the skill and patience to get these shots.

Hey Rod,
I love the pose, catch light and action here. You've done well to freeze the wing beat with your shutter speed choice. There is some noise present so it looks like you had to go to a high ISO to get the shot. Really nice work!

Really great shot, Rod - especially considering how difficult this type of shot is.
