Today after 4 months of being unable to do any shooting, I got to try my new lens 500 F 4. I know it is not ideal conditions, but I am limited to how much I can do. The lens felt like it weighed about 200 lbs. I was not able to get a s low as I wanted or the surroundings the way I want it but I figured I would post anyway. Hope you like it

.... and very glad you did !!!! Congrats on your new lens !!!
Excellent Double Crested Cormorant Good exposure and pose I like you got some the wing A little more of a turn showing more would have been even better. Would consider cropping just a bit form the right to keep the bird of center !!! Good luck on your next outing !!!!
Congrats on your new lens. I like your comorant's pose. I find that the blacks on these tend to look blocky, you did very well with lots of nice details. Looking forward to more!
