One of my first images with my new 300mm f2.8. I am pleased with the sharpness and detail. Too bad about the shadows.

Very sharp image Joe. How far away were you?

Do you have any Kenko tubes? If you get the chance, give that a try. It will bring them in way closer but you lose maximum focus distance but keep AF.

Beautiful shots- very sharp; nice detail! I saw this bird the other day (well, not this exact one) and didn't know what it was...now I know!

I was about 30 feet away. I was using the lens with a Canon 1.4TC. The image is cropped and resized from the original. Here a resized version of the original image to show the degree of cropping.
Thanks very much for your comments and suggestions.
Regards,
Joe

The details held up nicely considering the quite large crop!

Thanks Jason. I am quite pleased with it . It's a bit of a monster to lug around though.
