One of my dove photos just hit the first page of popular on 500px. First time any of my photos have gotten quite that far. Given that it was a from-the-hip shot without ANY planning or artistic goals whatsoever, I'm pretty stunned:

UPDATE: Now it's the first image in the second row of the popular page! Pulse is 99.7. I wonder if it will hit the top row before it's pulse is knocked back at 24hrs...

Congrats
That should help justifying the 600?

Congrats and Good Luck! It's a great image!

Not only does he know his optics theory, he also shoots stellar images! Great shot and well deserved credit!

Thanks, guys!

A very modest bird, the chiffchaff. Rare to get a clean shot, they're usually obscured by twigs or leaves. 1000mm f/10 1/800 ISO 1000.

Decided to take the Tamron 150-600 in a Lowepro on my back cycling to the lab this morning. Struck lucky and saw a heron depleting a pond by the cycle route.
