Downy Woodpecker

5D3
500mm + 2.0 TC III (Manual focus)
f/8
ISO 2000
1/1000

No sharpening in post, Raw image converted with DPP and then finished with CS5. Not as sharp as the 1.4 TC but still pretty good, especially for an old guy like me using manual focusing

I like both the images Joel, But That Tufted Titmouse is really good.--I love the backlighting in that one.

Thanks Bob, the light is harsh here today...clear skies....but my brother was here for a visit and I had to try out his 5D MKIII

I am impressed with the fast auto-focusing and sharpness as well as how the images hold up with cropping. It is a very nice camera.

I was going ask when you got a 5DIII, but you explained before I got to it. Very sharp considering you did not sharpen.
