Congratulations ! Spectacular capture ! Awesome work !!

Amazing shot!! Well done :)

Just in Awwwwwwwwe! One of the most amazing shots I've seen in a long time! I went out to a local audubon last week for the first time shooting with some seasoned birders.... It was an enlightening experience to say the least. There was guy I was shooting with that had the same body as yours 1DX and a nice long prime. His shots were so crispy, and I was there with a very nice lens, (200-400mm with internal 1:4 magnifier, however my body is the 7D original (not mk2) and it sure showed the limitations of my body. ONCE again, INCREDIBLE IMAGE!!!
