Thanks....you are correct.....trying to maximize sharpness and dof with f/8....although that is only stopped down one stop from wide open when using the 1.4TC

^^^Wow, very nice, Joel.
+1...I don't often post responses as it would take up too much bandwidth, but this thread continues to impress. Great shot Joel, keep 'em coming.
Burrowed a 1dIII from my father. Pretty nice camera. Everything is much faster than on my 40d. I think I need to work on a homogenous background. I would like my background to be silky smooth like Joel's.

Agreed....Downy Woodpecker on an icicle .... very unusual ... nice shot!
I did some work on your BG, hope you don't mind. By selecting it with the magic wand tool I then ran Gaussian Blur and noise reduction after using the refine edge. This smoothed it out to some degree.
