Mandarin Drake ll
1D Mk iv, 500mm f4, 1/80s :eek: f5, iso 250

The second of only a couple of keepers from this encounter, but I hope he stays long enough to meet again.

Great image Ian but my preference would be for the first post. You were certainly pushing it at 1/80s, not hand held I hope?

I like the pose on this as it really shows those neck plumes off.

As a picture I prefer this but the first was sharper :wink:

I actually prefer this one but do feel it is slightly oversharpened.
