About 15 ft according to the computer data f/10 at 1/500 sec ISO 1000.  He was cold and didn't want to move so I could almost touch him to get him to fly.  But I let him sleep after about 15 shots.

Beautiful details! ! ! I just love the eye detail and the chest feather detail. Were you THAT close or did you really have to zoom? If you did zoom - what mm ? There is no sign of shake or blur, though! Wonderful job!

Yikes, that was close!  Well done, love the flowing feathers.

Thanks Larry and Mitchelle!  The earth would have to move before he did!  ;o)

You are asking for trouble by getting so close!

I like this angle. That's the most special thing about this beautiful photo. Good job... ...however you did it.
