Wow... a lot of comments already on this one, and deservedly so! A great capture, very well timed. Just a few blown highlights, but that can be over-emphasized and in this picture I don't think it is a problem at all.

Beautiful work, Marcus.

And thank you for your comments. They are appreciated very much.

it looks like it is dancing there. another amazing shot. Your portfolio is full of brilliant bird shots. Amazing work. I used to do that a lot, also and I know how difficult it can be and how much patience is required.

Thanks for the comment Fabio, I think the Canon 100-400 Is the best all around tele-zoom you can buy at a relitively decent price, It is sharp through the whole focal range and your not stuck at 400mm like with the 400 prime. remember your camera bodies will change over the years, but your lenses will last a lifetime.....
take care.
Marcus

Thanks

Not really patient, Just a horrible tech, Im always out shooting birds when I should be at work, I figure a bad day shooting is better than a good day working.....
Take Care......

Thanks Neil, I didnt ever actually win a award for a photo, I did get a photgrapher of the day with a photo showing for a few hours, well I guess I would rather have the usefilm users approval as you guys are my friends, I dont really know the staff, and it seem as though they dont know me hahah.... take care......

Hi Marcus, thanks for your comment this morning which brought me to your page! Wonderful! I see you have won an award (only one?) so i decided to click through your Portfolio to see if i could pick which one had won. As you can see i was wrong, not to matter - i think this is worthy of an award too. Now i'll just have to look at the rest of your Portfolio, to find out which one did win :)
Best wishes, Neil

HI Jim, I have access to many Canon lenes as my brother is a professional sports photographer, I find the 100-400L the best Zoom Tele for the price period. The lens is very sharp throughout its range, and the only other 400's I have seen sharper are the 400mm prime F/4 5500.00
and the 2.8, too expensive to mention, the difference in hardly noticable, and its a mere 1500.00 dollars....
Thanks for your comment....
Marcus

Outstanding bird shot. This has all the elements right down to the water droplets falling from the feet. Just got my 20D and now I am looking into lens's do you find the 100-400 sharp through its entire zoom range ?
thanks

You have some fantastic bird shots, Marcus, but I think this one is my favourite. Perfect timing and so clear. I love taking bird photos, too, but they have to be standing still for me to do much good. Great stuff. Cheers, Ann V.B.
