Female House Sparrow - Click image to view larger!

Perfect!  Color, DOF, detail and composition are spot on.  The little Sparrow is often overlooked in favor of the more colorful birds, but as this image shows, they have a beauty all their own... Excellent... Mike

Thanks Michael! Yup, I would not have shot this common bird if she was not in good light (guilty as charge!) - Good to hear from you!

Technically perfect, all well adjusted and the result is optimal! I only wonder how could the focal length be 700mm with a full frame sensor and 500mm lens?!

Best regards Tm J!

Mercie Beaucoup Pierre! I had the 1.4X on the 500mm (500 X 1.4 = 700mm). As Mr Mancil noted somewhere, I am 'drooling' for a Canon 2X serie III since it's much better than a 1.4X TC series II. :-)

I've met people who claimed that they don't like glasses bettween their lens & the camera and even though I share the same feeling, I don't think they know what they are  .. missing!

Tm,

Exquiste details.

Wonderful setting.

Thank goodness for fine lens !

Excellent work.

Best Regards,  Mike

Well composed! Great detail and very nice background. Best regards, Linh Dinh
