Oops, I meant to include the ISO, which was 800. (If you click on the Flickr link after the image, you can see the full EXIF, if you like).

I could have gone down to ISO 400 for this shot and opened up accordingly (f/5.6 would be the limit for the f/4 70-200mm plus the 1.4x TC), but when I'm shooting wildlife I tend to set both bodies as if I'm shooting the 500mm, which demands more SS. This is with the 5D MkII, with plenty of light, so I had tons of options.
