Is that the Hairy WP? The beak looks a bit larger than the Downy, but it could be me. I haven't seen one in soooo long.

Ya thats a Hairy Al, This is a Downy and a Pine Siskin I shot today

Getting to know how to use this a little better. What are people's opinions on the eyes. Its really the only selection that I have altered. They didn't look too bad when I processed the pic but now I'm not so sure.

They look OK from here. There's plenty of light coming in, so I don't think there's an unnatural look.

I have not seen a Pine Sisken in about 5 years in my area. I hope they are doing fine.

We all do - haha! I heard her this morning.

Finally adding this gem to my owl collection. Ironical since they live within 2 miles of our cabin that I would have to travel 1000 miles north to find one--this one after 5 hours of tramping through snow, ice and cold (though the snow ice and cold are nothing like we had last year in Quebec hunting Snowies and Greys-

Welp, like the dummy I truly am, right after I paid off my previous bills I immediately threw myself right back into debt and picked this lens up after seeing the images from this thread. Some great shots in here! Luckily I have a few side jobs and owed debts being paid to me soon which will soften the blow/buyers remorse.

I want to get into shooting wildlife stuff when I visit places like Joshua Tree National Park so I figured that this would be a good lens to add to my little collection. Ill be pairing this wonderful thing with a 7DmkII and 5DmkIII. You guys might see this idiot around here more often.

There's a good chance you might like it

It's just money. Moreover, the regret will melt away once this lens starts making some sweet music with your 7D2.. a killer combo as evidenced by this thread and the 7D2 thread.

I'm also a big fan of mFT cameras/lenses and am on the wait list for the Leica 100-400mm for my Lumix
GX8. When the day comes I'll be comparing it to the EOS 100-400mm. Cost is about the same, of course
size/weight are way different. The Leica is 0.5 faster on the wide end and a 1/3 stop slower (6.3) on the long
end. I'm just hoping it will be worth of its Leica moniker.
