Well, actually it's not a raven, but a common crow I shot with a 600mm Nikkor lens on a Nokon D2x. I shot this hand held on a continuous burst of three. I find when shooting handheld, the second image is often the sharpest the movement from depressing the shute release (a lot of movement with a 600mm), is greatly reduced. (5 years and 3016 days ago)

It would be really nice if we could see a High res.
I'm just working off my laptop right now. I'll get the original high res image up tomorrow. Should we be adding the IPTC and original EXIF camera data or does he sites resizing strip all that info. It would be nice to not have to bring that all up manually.
Thanks.
The site strips the IPTC and Exit Data
EXIF would be nice for hard to remember camera settings if you're doing a lot of shooting in a variety of conditions. I wonder if there's a script out their that could extract EXIF before the resizing process?
I use Save for Web in Photoshop to resize images before posting them here. As long as I have Metadata - All, I still have all the Metadata on the smaller image. It just doesn't get uploaded here, would destroy anonymity otherwise.
