Thanks for the compliment, Laurie, and in answer to your question, no, I used my standard post-processing treatment for noise, exposure and contrast adjustments. It was shot at fairly high zoom with a wide aperture (small f-stop), which tends to blur the background

Below is a copy of the whole image, where you'll see that I did apply a border treatment, but that doesn't show up in the banner.
