Well composed. Tough to handheld 500mm at ss 1/80. Not sure if increasing the iso to 800 and getting a shutter speed of about 1/250 whould have resulted in better output. Did you try a shot with higher shutter speed? TFS

The eye contact is fine. Tough to get sharp at low shutter speeds. Look forward to more images of this bird.

Nice eye contact. Agree about the shutter speed. You could have tried to use a wider aperture to get slight higher shutter speed. Tough conditions to shoot. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see your profile image .Actually I was unware that the aperture was set at 7.1.It was a mistake.Moreover this was only snap I could take as the bird flew off suddenly.Thanks
