Very, very nice.
Our white tails are all having babies now and the bucks coming to feed in the back yard are very nervous and have open wounds on their rear. Too many coyotes the state DID NOT bring in.

On my monitor it looks a tad underexposed.
I do like the bokeh. How wide open were you shooting the lens (the deer's back is losing detail) which is assume is pretty fast---I'm not familiar with Canon models as I shoot Nikon. The lens looks good with exceptional detail in the ears and face. Care to share details, including weight of the lens---was this hand held of mounted? If mounted on what (ball head???)
looks like you got a pretty good lens. Is this the lens that has the push-pull zoom with the manual tension adjustment?? If so, how does that work out in actual use?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks for your comments and questions
firstly exposure, I have noticed before some of my images are a little dark when viewed on different monitors, it may well be I have a problem with my eyesight as I have three monitors I can try at home and I always seem to make my images rather dark if viewed on others ie at work, any thought on this one we can talk.
As I mentioned this was my first ever shot, was shaking littraly like a leafe at taking it out of its noce new case, it was shot handheld with a little support from a nearby post ie I was leaning on the post to get a little support. It was shot at F5.6 thus giving me a very shallow DOF. To be very honest I was not exactly sure what to expect, the fear and the og so heavy weight I am surprised I got such a good shot. This is the 100-400mm push pull lens with the locking ring, really not that easy to use but I am getting more used to it now, I tend to have set the zoom to say 300mm in this case and lock the ring in place, if required its a two hand job to release and re zoom if required, maybe in time I will get used to it a little more, out of interest one of my work colleagues bought same lens and took it back to the shop not long after as he absolutely hated the push pull zoom.
Think that's all questions answered for now apart from my exposure monitor probs as I don't think it my camera or my exposure settings, I'll upload some more image today and you can advise, non of my friends, work colleagues are camera anoraks so cant discuss anything at all technical with them
speak to you soon and greetings from a slightly warmer Scotland at the moment
its a balmy 9 dec C, soon be time to get my shorts on me think not !!

Off to a Great start with your new Lens. Hope to see more soon.

You did very good! I have that lens and I love it. The push/pull zoom does not bother me at all. Also, I do not tighten mine too much so that I can easily make the necessary adjustments.

I would say that you are off to a wonderful start if that is the very first photo with your new lens!
Can't wait to see more!

I think you and your new lens will be doing some fine work. I look forward to seeing more of South West Scotland.

Is this one of those photos where people say "Nice picture, you must have a really good camera/lens"?
