Hi,
I have just received my 2nd Canon f11 800mm lens as the original one was damaged and could not produce sharp or in focus shots at any setting. Now I have a replacement I need some real life examples to compare my results against.

The photo you have provided looks great. The question I ask is at what distance was this taken and is it cropped?

Many thanks

Thanks, Jimmy. Was surprised to see a group of these starlings in my yard this morning. I have seen and took photos of them many times but never in my area.

Thanks Mike for your kind comments, here and other thread. Much appreciated

These Grey Fantails have very round eyes and often look pop eyed

Thank you. Yes, the water does add a lot to the image.
