If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Was taking photos of my daughter and then this guy took flight. Would have used a 100-400 II, but had the 135L on the camera

Nice shots! Have you done any PP on them? It seems if you pulled down the highlights and did some tweaking, the bird would really pop a lot more.

Some PP, not a whole lot. Might try to pull down the highlights, thanks. I wasn't expecting to shoot birds...135L is my portrait lens! 100-400 II was in the car.
