Great series, John. Nicely done.

Nothing special, but I am testing how sharp is the 100-400 II at 400mm f/5.6 on the 5DIII.

I´d say that´s pretty sharp

Lovely pictures here!

I humbly add a Bee-eater taken on the 28th of December 2014. I love the picture. Credit goes to my shiny new 7D2, the sturdy old 100-400L and to the pretty Bee-eater. The settings were M; 1/1250, f/7.1, ISO 250 shot @400mm.

BTW, all the oof and blurry shots I get from the 7D2 are mostly user error (hand shake or shutter speed not high enough) or subject movement. Not the 7D2.

Nice shot - I've got a shot of the same bird

Just love Bee-eaters, make great subjects and usually very approachable. This is a Little Bee-eater.

Peacocks are simultaneously beautiful and boring. Still, I thought I'd throw this in. From last February when I was staying in Victoria, BC. These birds are in Beacon Hill Park and range freely.

Great close up. Mine are all from a fair way off unfortunately given we were in the delta.
