Portrait of a Brown Shrike

Killer shot of a great looking bird....hope he doesn't eat too many of those exotic birds you have there.

Nice one Romy but it looks like that 500 does not suit you... send it to me sir... LOL


Really nice one Romy... really nice!!!

Good Shot, very crisp, shots like that make me wish I had a longer telephoto lens like the 500 f4 or 600 f4 and someday I will aquire one.

beautiful shot romy! as always. great stuff.

Excellent exposure Romy. Is the 500 your default choice now? Is the Sigmonster gathering dust on your shelf?

Beautiful shot Romy! Wherever I go my faithful bean bag is nearly always with me

Thanks again, everybody....

I always bring both lenses in my sorties. It just happened that most of my recent shots were taken with my vehicle as a blind. The 500 f4 is superior to the Sigmonster in this situation (hand held/bean bag). At longer shots (701 - 1600 mm), when I can set up a tripod, the Sigmonster is a better detail-getter than the 500 f4.
