Here are some shots from when I rented the canon 300 f4 IS + canon 1.4x tc. Exif data intact.

An american kestrel bathed in the warm sunset light.

Same kestrel munching on a lizard. He ate the whole bugger, claws and tail!

Great shots Hung. I love the lighting on the Kestrel. That egret is pretty smart looking too. :)

Wow, those are really great, crisp shots. The Egret shot would be a lot better with the entire reflection, did you get that?

Thanks. Yes the egret shot would have been nice with the whole reflection, but I was too close to the bird and chopped off the bottom of the reflection. :cry:

LOL, isn't it wonderful when you are "too close to the bird". That, unfortunatly, is the opposite of how it usually works.
