Hi all. Finally made room on my hard drive to download some more recent images. I caught this female Red-winged Blackbird with the 500 mm + 1.4 teleconverter a few weeks ago. I actually have several frames of her that I like. I smoothed out the background and made it somewhat more uniform but stopped short of going all the way. C&C welcome.
