Prefer it like this rather than a close crop. Gives the photo some context. Well done.

Thanks!

There are times I think of selling my EF400 - just on the basis of age and lack of technology in the form of IS. I have IS on most of my lens, and i think it has a real advantage and sometimes a "placebo effect" too..

Had a day out in a nature reserve yesterday, and was mobile. The 400mm f/5.6 was the lens in use, and i'm always shocked at the results in terms of clarity.

Was framing a static shot in a dark pool, when a kingfisher came in. 1/400 isn't ideal for a hand-held shot of such a subject with a 400mm and no IS, but got a high percentage of keepers. Body was Canon 6D.

Went to Capri over the weekend for some meetings. Took my lightweight travel gear with me - 5DS R plus 100-400mm II (no extender). It is good! A bird expert friend had to enlist a panel of even more experts to identify this one: a spotted flycatcher with faint markings.
