Portrait of a Goose
First bird photography I've done in a while, from a couple weekends ago. It's been cold here in Colorado, VERY cold, teens and lower most of the time. Lot of snow lately as well...the past week and change has been one snow storm after another...we've got a solid, persistent foot everywhere. Having a slightly "warm" break in all the cold was nice, and gave me the opportunity to get back into bird photography, prep for the coming migration.
Canon EOS 5D III
Canon EF 600mm f/4 L II + 1.4x TC III
Gitzo GT3532LS + Jobu Pro II
Full frame, uncropped:
Closeup:
Full detail (1:1 crop, unscaled when you click for full size):
In case anyone was wondering, this is why you spend $12,000 on a 600mm lens.
Even with the 1.4x TC, the detail from 30+ feet away is just amazing.

Hi Steven.
Very nice shot. Lovely contrast against the background colours.
Cheers, Graham.

I'm in love with my 600 II. Superb lens and as you mention the detail on a well captured image is outstanding. I'm also surprised at the results from hand held shots when the situation requires it. Fantastic IS.

Looks like I've been missing out on a lot of very nice recent postings, not sure why.
Has anyone else run into the situation where email notifications don't come in spite of the thread showing notify as being active. I've deactivated-activated more than a few times and it'll work and then quit. It's not that I don't respond and then they stop. I am always faithful in responding. Today I saw it was a "popular" thread at the main page and said, "hey I've missed seeing that for a while, what's up"
Any ideas?

Hi Jack.
Simple answer, you have been relying on technology instead of just opening the page and have a look! ;D
Cheers, Graham.

A lot of help you are Graham!
Technology worked for your post since I un-notified and re-notified but what's the point of having it if it doesn't work reliably. Yes, I am spoiled.

Hi Jack.
Sorry about that, I have a row of tabs open in my browser and click along each as a matter of course, let down too many times by notify me scripts! Save in bookmarks and select open all in tabs.
Cheers, Graham
