Got one from today. 1/1000th at 6.3 I believe, 280mm on 70-200 with 1.4xTC.
A little over exposed, but it was some pretty harsh lighting.

Jayson, that is a superb photo. I edited it for you and toned down that lighting:

Wonderful, Joel. I love the composition, the color coordination, and of course, the smooth background.
Thanks, I took this last fall when the leaves were at peak color. Made for a nice background color. I usually run some noise reduction on the background as well to smooth out any high iso noise.

Brendan I like your edit and how you toned it down. I didn't have a whole lot of time for editing as the kids were tugging at my sleeves. Thanks. Joel, that is a great picture. I do love the background colors as it compliments the bird nicely.

Personally, I'd back down two notches on the sharpening. I will look more natural.
Caught this Black-crowned Night Heron building a nest last weekend.

Taken Yesterday: Kind of my first attempt at birds, I give you the Acorn Woodpecker.

LeTiger, that's a beautiful bird. I believe they are found in Mexico? Maybe some cropping would be nice, but great colors in that one.
Denise....How is your experience with the 100-400 vs the 300? Could you give me a bit of feedback? Much appreciated.
