Doug, I am surprised by the quality of the colour at 800 iso, or is this a 
-1 stop at 400. I like the angles of the critter and its tree: gives a sense 
of the movement you were "struggling" with. A very dynamic portrait.

Cheers

In Warner Valley, Lassen Volcanic National Park about a week ago:

http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/picidae/piwo00.jpg

technical stuff:  Leica R8/DMR, 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt-R & 1.4x APO-Extender-R
ISO 800, shutter speed about 1/90 sec., cropped significanlty.  Camera was 
supported by shoulder stock & monopod.  Subject motion was a big problem.

All comments welcome.
