Yesterday I tried my new 500 mm lens with the Canon 2 x TC.
Well, it worked; the birds, we have here tend to be very skittish, and it helps a lot to use a TC.
First time I made pictures of the Crested Grebe.
Mark III / 500mm + 2.0 TC

Hi Rosl besides what already mentioned, there is something in front of the bird that needs to be cloned out. I do like the reflection and water colors!
As above, and wish that the reflections had been surrounding the bird. later and love, artie
