This male Bobolink gives us a bit of the old "shake it up baby" of Beatles's fame.

Canon 7D with the 500L f4 lens with 1.4II extender on tripod @ 1/800, f5.6, ISO 400, +2 1/2 exposure compensation.

Cropped for a 12 x 9 frame - basically the left and right of the shot was cropped away for the vertical look. If I kept the image horizontal, I would have set it off centre.

A plant in the lower right corner where my signature is was clonned away. Eye slightly dodged. Background despeckled aftre sharpening.

Cheers,

Mike
