    Mr. Spoonbill to me that is.

    Nikon D300
    Nikon 600mm AF-S ED F4 Lens with TC20E 2X
    Manual Metered and Focused
    ISO 400
    1/500 @ F14
    Very close to full frame 98%
    In camera settings: Contrast set to Lowest Setting, Sharpening Off, Auto WB

    The light was so sweet I brushed right after capturing this image to avoid getting a cavity.
    (Al will understand)

    Converted using Lightroom (I'm new at it) on a new Dell Monitor.
    Does it look ok?

    Way sweet. You might consider getting rid of the specular highlights in the mouth when you have some free time. Looks as if I was a day late... later and love and thanks again for yesterday, am in the am

    Very nice pose James and great light. Is a fantastic result considering that you are using a 600 f4 matched with the 2XTC because this TC only works fine with the 300 2,8. I would be very happy having this one on my files
