The clarity is supreme. The matting definitely goes with it. Even as l spread the image as wide as it can go it's like I'm standing there with a magic wand----doesn't blur. I'm assuming this was taken using 400 or possibly 800 speed film? Another beautiful work of nature captured in a split second.

Very fine dof - he's beautifully isolated against that soft pretty background. Love his quizzical expression. Congratulations on your tie for 3rd place in the recent BIRDS Large and Small contest.
