Don't have the settings handy for this...I remember he was too close to get the whole bird in the frame, so I cropped this as a portrait. 50D, 500mm. Please see LARGER version.

Wow! What a spectacular close-up Sharon! Love the detailed hairs of the feathers and the clarity in that eye is superb.

How nice to be so close. I love the juvies when there is a lot of bronzing in the beak. The small version is very nice. The larger version is not as sharp as I expected and has some noise.

Interesting closeup of this youngster Sharon. I agree that it could be a bit sharper.
