I like the feeding behavior, cactus, and sharpness and might desaturate the sky a little bit. Fill flash might have helped in this light.

[Joe Senzatimore]

Tough light handled very well. As mentioned , a bit of fill might help but still a keeper all the way. Great behavior captured.

Hi Ian,
Glad you are having fun with the new lens, sharpness wise much better than your previous shots!!! agree with Axel, about flash, want as uniform light as possible. nice image

Thanks, folks! Yes, Arash, the lens is a lot of fun. It's smaller and lighter than my 100-300mm f/4 making it much easier to hold. I think I'm going to have to invest in a Better Beamer -- I think I'm a bit too far away to use my bare 430EX even for fill.

What a fun image to look at...very different. I like it alo.

I'm no 'Photo tech quality' expert, but I sure do like this one!

Have to admit I prefer behavior in Birdphotos though.

Anyway, thanks for sharing this one

Regards
