I like the 2nd perspective the best, Mike. It's a very attractive shot.

Thanks Mike! There's quite a difference between 200mm and 600mm on my crop-sensor Canon.

I'm a big fan of the crop sensor (APS-C) cameras, Mike. I just recently got a full frame Canon 1DX II. I do like it, but I find myself using my crop sensor 7DII most of the time.

Mike, what do you plan to use the 1DX II for? Nice camera by the way.

This one sure is a beauty, fotoi. The rich gold colors in the water are so nice.

Mike, what do you plan to use the 1DX II for? Nice camera by the way.

Thank you Fotoi. I really like the 1DX II for birds in flight. When I go out shooting for a whole day, I always take two cameras. I'll set the 1DX II up with a 100- 400 mm zoom for BIF, and the 7DII with a 1.4 TC on my 400 mm DO II f/4. This will be used for all of my static bird shots. I tend to like to put this one on a tripod. When I was a bit younger and tougher, I liked to put a 500 mm f/4 Canon lens on the crop camera with a 1.4 TC for a magnification equivalency of 1120 mm. Now a days that's a real chore. I don't do it that often anymore.

Nice shot Paul. The lighting hit the grennie's face just right, and the background looks great.

This one apparently loves to sing loud and proud. :lol: Very nicely done shot, Bill.
