Nice shot Christian. The IS seems to be working for you. I'm curious
as to handheld here - because you could, or because a mono/tripod was
unavailable?
As to the picture - overall, very nice. The backlighting on it's head
and neck really make this picture sing. My one nit is that the
foreground, at the bird's feet is blown a bit and just too
distracting. Have you tried toning it down or shifting the color a
bit away from yellow?
