Further to the review I have added to the reviews section here are two images, the first is the full frame and the second is a 1-1 crop of that frame showing just the Barn Owls face, I have had to compress them considerably to make them a workable size to show on here.
Canon EOS1Ds + 100-400mm IS lens and Canon EX550 flash
1/200th at f11 with auto flash
in camera sharpening was restricted to fine pattern and standard
Superb detail still has been kept on the Owl's face Nigel even after the big blow up involved to achieve this photo.Excellent.

This image has not been blown up at all, it has not had any post process sharpening either, it is a 1to1 crop of the first image straight from camera, accept for the compression otherwise it would have been 1.84 Mb the full image shot as a large fine jpeg is 5.91 Mb from camera.
