Not sure if this is too dark as my monitor isn't calibrated, have others said it's too dark on another forum and reposted with what appears about 10-15% brightness increase.

Wow, that really pops! I run a dual monitor setup, with one each LCD and CRT. Looks great on both!
The only thing extra I'd ask for, and this is being really picky, is a touch more depth of field to get the feet in focus as well. As it is they're close, but not quite in. Definitely framing and hanging on the lounge room wall material! Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
It's about 75-80% of fullframe so not much of a crop. Still a lot of pixels on the original, around 2400px on the longest side. As for the DOF, I'm struggling to get a decent amount of DOF with this lens and as you see I was running 1/160 and F10, ISO400 which is my own personal preference as a maximum to eliminate noise too much noise. This was pretty much on minimum focus, and this lens has bugger all DOF at min focus even if you do adjust the aperture. From what I've heard the DOF is around about an inch at min focus
I'll have to check a URL a friend gave me that tells you.Darryl (aka Kipper)

At 5 metres, F10 on a d70 the DOF is only 3.63 cm... and that isn't including the 1.4x TC (not sure how that effects it)

Living in poverty due to my addiction to NIKON... Is there a clinic that can help me?
From what I can gather if I went from F/10 to F/16 or F/20 I'd get 5-6cm of DOF to play with. Which I'm not quite sure if it'd get much more of the bird in focus, I definately didn't have the light to do that either.

This is a fine image regardless of any discussion about DOF. If I had an image of this calibre I'd be proud as punch. Peter

As I said, I was being really picky. Glad I was though - that's a very interesting URL! Found a reference to a 1200 - 1700mm lens the other day (here), so I plugged in 1200mm as focal length. Depth of field at 10 metres? 2cm. At 3m? zero...
Back on topic, that is a seriously good pic Darryl. Wish it was mine. Would have been very hard to get a bird like that to stay still long enough to capture it. Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
the composition is beautiful and DOF is good as you are at realy long focal length.yeh its little dark but looks good on my monitor.since cuz of yellowish color and cast it have a little dull feel.a little exposure jump can fix it if you have took in RAW.

Cool bird pic!
