Wow, very sharp! Great shot! Did you handhold or use a tripod? I think my problem lately is I

hi denise.....thanks. i handheld.....i usually dont use a tripod, which does make for some blown shots since i like to take most shots in the early evening when the sun isnt so strong. in this instance, i did brace myself against a tree to steady myself.

IS on that lens is nice. I handhold it a lot, but use a monopod for sports (soccer) with the IS turned off.

Nice shot! If anything, it looks maybe 1/2 stop overexposed, since you've lost some of the detail in the white fur. But overall a great image!
