You got it all, including the telltale 8-pointed star reflection at 2 0'clock on the iris. Some nature photographers would Photoshop the effect ( inserting the Space Needle or Lenin's statue somewhere in the background for good measure....). I know the 280 is a superb lens, but someone still has to frame, set and trip the shutter. Really top notch rendering, Doug. Thanks for the example.

Keep in mind the extremely narrow DOF of this lens; the lower eyelid and eyelashes & feathers are in best focus. R8/DMR, 280 f/4 APO with 1.4x APO-Extender and UET-R extension tube.
