Every time I see one of your 600mm f/4 images I’m impressed by two things, what a great lens it is and your complete mastery of it as a tool to show your vision to the rest of us. Very nicely done!

Very nice capture of a challenging bird.  Love the rendering of the background in general, but might consider toning down the twig on the far right side.  It is just distinct enough that it draws the eye away from the subject.

Cheers

no cloning in this image.. but that would be a very likely candidate. easily removed.
