The crest looks nice. Good eye contact. You got it nicely from behind the tree. Good details. Thanks for sharing.

390 mm because you forgot to pull the zoom to the end or it was intentional?

Crop from which side?

Good to see the raised crest. Your shutter speed was less. Else, I would have loved more depth of field. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Sabyasachi,

This is a crop from the left and bottom, only very slightly though. And 390mm, not intentionally. This keeps happening with the 100-400..I am not sure why. It gives the exif data as 385mm or 390mm a few times even though I think I had pulled the zoom to its longest end.

Regards
