1/500 at f/3.2, ISO 1250. Shot during in the evening which created even / soft lighting, but I had to boost the ISO. LR3 adjustments to remove the noise.

You did a wonderful job with the noise. All the detail still there. What is LR3? #1388661

Thanks, Michelle. LR3 = Adobe Lightroom 3. Fantastic piece of software. #9491283

Martin, I think the stance of the bird, the excellent detail in it, and the softer look at the environment are all quite lovely. #9520302

Thanks, Mitch! Although not many comments here at BP, it seems that you have summed up what most other people have said about it elsewhere. #9520383
