    It was a dumb question sorry I saw your lens was f4, then saw f5.6 below and thought it was two aperture settings. You were probably using a 1.4TC?

    Fantastic image Will! I would be happy with one, and you have 2 birds with great pose, wing position and head angles. Superb!

    This series is fantastic.
    I think this is my favorite.
    Love the sharpness, the mirrored pose and topside view.

    Two great banks! Love the trees in the BKGR but not the line on the edge of the field ...

    Were these baited?
