Nothing beats spring light at the crack of dawn!
Canon 7D with the 500L F4 lens with 1.4 II Extender on monopod @ 1/800, f5.6, ISO 640, +1 exposure compensation.
Cropped to a 12 x 16 format. One small blade of vegetation cropped out. Background despeckled after a small dose of sharpening to reduce noise.
Cheers,
Mike
