LOL! Great shot.

Thanks Nick - Very cooperative just stood there for about 30 sec showing off. Just looked like she was chewing on a big stogie.

Thanks Randy, When I started to look at the image on the computer was really surprised at the feather detail, don't think I had ever seen the top feather in such detail before. Guess that my 200-500 is not soft after all, just have to make sure I support it correctly.. In this case sitting on a step stool and using a monopod instead of the tripod.

I never could hold one I ended up selling it because of that reason
