    Hi Michael,
    thanks for showing this. The image quality is very good for stacked converters. It shows how good the 7D files can be with good light and the right equipment and technique even at ISO 640.

    I like the light and colors in this image. The perch is great. I only wish for a better angle.

    If the light permits it, I've worked with staked converters. BTW, it would more up to the lens than the camera. Only difference is you have to manual focus on 7D.
    Details is pretty good, thought the whites look a bit dull, making them brighter would help.
    Steep angel mentioned. TFS.

    tbe whites do look a little dirty. the far off stare doesnt bother me too much here probably because i love the eagles so much. but, i might add some canvas up top and right. personal preference, maybe.

    Well sharpness is good but way too much shadow/highlight or exposure/shadows. You can see a lot of haloing around the branches and the image looks crispy with unatural contrast.

    How did you stack 1.4X convertors, non Canon, or one canon one another type, or two canon with a extension tube? Two Canon 1.4x will not stack. I used to stack 2 x 2xII but 1.4x I or II since they do not have a recessed rear element.

    Robert's eyes are much sharper than mine. My big problem is that the bird's head is simply very dirty...

    To answers Robert's question about the converters; I used a Canon 1.4 TC attached to the lens and then a Tamron SP 1.4TC attached to the Canon TC.

    Thanks to all for your suggestions and help.

    It is over sharpened that you can see the glow around the bird. That being said, the stacked converters' IQ is really good.
