In the hibiscus next to my barn:

R8/DMR, 280 f/4 APO + 1.4x APO-Extender-R

I'd like to have gotten a less busy background.  I used an exposure of 1/90 
sec @ f/8 (f/11 effective) to get a trace of DOF on the bird but this had 
the unfortunate effect of making the background busier.  All comments 
welcome.
