Everyone needs a Flamingo

Went to the LA Zoo with my Granddaughter and was looking forward to trying my hand with the Flamingos. I have seen lots of wonderful photos of Flamingos over time and have been very envious of what others have produced. I took my old Canon trombone 100/400mm. I have been considering selling this lens to raise a little cash, but when I see the results I think twice.

I like both the color version as well as the B&W. Both have their merits.

Call me phobic but a flamingo on a lawn to me is a statement the owner is 'gay' or 'lesbian'

So no flamingos on my lawn.

Both are wonderful images! The older 100-400 remains a strong performer. The focus speed of the new model is the most obvious improvement followed by the IS performance. But, the older model is still an excellent lens.

# 1 for sure.. B&W just does this one no justice.

Love the color. Something just gets lost with the b/w.

Agree with other posters. The B&W is nice, but once you see the warmth and the dimension in the color version there's no contest (for me, anyway!).
