Very nice grandpaw

Love the shot and the composition. You proved that birds don’t have to be in flight to be frame worthy! This one certainly is!

That is one of the finest bird captures that I have seen !! That is one good lens !! I would not think that lens is out to 600mm on that shot. Handheld at 600 is just asking too much from a lens.

Actually I checked the data to verify what I shot this at and it was fully open at the 600mm end just to let you know. I might add that I have exceptionally steady hands and have actually shot this lens at 600mm on a crop sensor camera at one full second and got a sharp picture just to prove to some of my fellow photographers that I could do it. I will admit that I had to concentrate very hard to accomplish it but I was able to pull it off.
