While waiting for my new lens I manage to get myself the new 2x TC. So I headed out to test on some gulls and terns, still need time to get use to it. The image is right out of the camera except convert to JPEG from RAW and cropped, I think with sharpening and some level adjustment should be good to go.

All comments and suggestions are welcome.

soc, this isnt that bad. like you said. a little work and i think it would shine. i'd work on it and post it in this thread. nice job!!

Here is the version with NR, set white/black point, linear burn, lighten eye and sharpen.

The re-work is excellent. Is this a black headed Gull?

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Looks good Thanaboon, very good for SOC. Like the sharpening but think the eye is a little overdone (sharpness wise, not the lightening which looks good) IMO.

i would darken the eye just a little. he has a surprised look:D

Hi - Looks good - How was the AF with the 2X converter - agree on darkening the eye a tad.
PP looks good.

Repost rocks - agree with darkening the eye slightly!

Very nice wing extension with some nice detail coming through. The repost looks much better, but agree with the above comments regarding the eye.

Too early for me to tell about the AF of the 2X TC, need to spend more time with it. I spend too much time trying to focus on the fast moving terns which I already having a hard time with 1.7TC :p
