Thanks for viewing/comments! .... another 2X TC III at work ... not as good

as the last one but still very good, I think. :-)

And handheld too!! Impressive photo!

Thanks Dimitris! I think handheld is part of the reason I can get a lot of bird image, first off, one can aim faster. Second, I tried using a tripod and got very little keeper. Aside from that, Canon Image Stabilization system is very good.  :-)

Hi Tm,

Wonderful shot as always ... My only worry in here is that the left piece is a bit distracting from the otherwise perfect shot, and the eye drifts to that left piece instead of staying on this little wonderful bird ... Forgive me if I am wrong, but I think cloning that away might be better in this case ...

Thanks Rejith! I left that blurred stalk there thinking it balance the blurred one on the right but now that you mention it I probably should at least clone that out or clone both out. Thanks for leaving your thought, I appreciate that very much and happy shooting!

Each new photo completes this interesting and beautiful series,just admire this too.

Thanks Radu! Good to hear from you :-)

Another fantastic series of these little wonderful birds, I wonder how you take these images with your camera handheld, ciao Giangiorgio

Grazie Mille Giangiorgio! Canon image stabiliztion is very good is the reason, I do get blurry image now and then when I get too excited and shake too much :-) - The higher shutter speed also help and I generally don't want to shoot under 1/800 much.
