Great Detail and crystal focus. He's a beauty! Did you use that 400mm?
I've been debating between the 300 and the 400, f/2.8 for awhile, how do you like the f/5.6?
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Hey Michael

Yes I took this with the 400 its a great lens and lighter than the 300
Its really good for flight shot ...and its super sharp .. focuses very quickly and is less expensive than the 300 ... but then again the 300 is a f/2.8 .. and a great lens tough choice

Beautiful detail and color. Too tight? I don't think it's a problem. The colors and feather details are what caught my eye.
