DSC_2844

This guy was perched on a neighbourhood wall - I noticed while driving,

stopped and pulled out my camera with a newly acquired telephoto. Taken

from the driver's seat. How do you like it? This is one of my first in "wild" life

capture with the new telephoto. Comments, Ratings and any tips welcome.

Thanks.

Colors, background well neutralized...all well done! Viewed larger it shows that some (upper) parts of the "face" escape the focus a little bit. If your tele doesn't have an image stabilizer I suggest using ISO1600 setting! That's my experience with my poor tele without IS! Of course it doesn't refer to flash shots (only flash)!

THanks for your comment - I realise the slightly out of focus tip of nose, but is that due to lack of IS or very shallow DOF? Also, wouldn't ISO 1600 introduce significant grain? I'll try it out though - in daylight, grain might not be that big an issue. Thanks for your suggestions anyway.
