Taken from the car on bean bag.

D2X + 6000mm AFS II>

Flying today at around 6pm. in great light.
However this picture heavily cropped as it was some distance away at the time of making this dive.

For a heavy crop there's still plenty of detail. My suggestion would be to include if possible the area its hovering above, producing a vertical pano style pic.
Fantastic stuff, jealous of you folk with these Barnies.

Wonderful hunting pose. That 6000mm lens must need one hell of a bean bag and a tank to move it, not a car!!!
