Super images! The first one is truly fabulous. It is a testament to the 400/5.6 and it's abilty to grab intense details. Well done!

Excellent.

It is important to get the reflection in the eye.

Very nice indeed. Were you using a tripod? Hand held at that focal length and shutter speed would be something else..

Very nice indeed. Were you using a tripod? Hand held at that focal length and shutter speed would be something else..Yes I used a tripod with a ball head loosely tightened so that I can rotate and frame the shot but still have stability.

Very nice work indeed ... how far away was that little critter at the time?Hi Condyk ... about 5 metres. Perilously close to the 3.5m minimum focus distance of the lens.

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments!
