Here's sharing a couple of Philippine birds, both taken with the hand held 20D + 500 f4 IS + Canon 1.4x (partially supported by car window)....:)

1. White-eared Brown-dove (a Philippine endemic), 1/60 sec, f/5.6, ISO 400

Stunning shots Romi! I think you and the 500mm are outshining your previous Sigmonster quickly. The color and vibrancy seem more natural and yet more dramtic at the same time. (could be subject and lighting though)

Love that Kingfisher's little beard!
