Thank you, it's not as sharp and a bit too grainy for my liking... but "HM The Queen" (SMC Pentax 500mm F4.5) takes a bit of handling at this distance, running @2000 ISO to get the shutter speed up.

Sharpness, for me, ain't everything with an image like this KD. Having 4 beautiful birds of prey in the frame is wonderful, AND manually focused to boot !!!

If I didn't manually focus... all my Ladies shots would be a bit on the blurry side.

It's quite uncanny that you picked up on this shot from over a year ago, when I was back there today for the first time since then. Dancing? - PentaxForums.com

When I saw the title, I was expecting an image of objects constructed of paper and attached to the earth by twine .... this is much more spectacular and difficult!
