Excellent. Sharpness, detail, and exposure all look great.

Beautiful shot Ken! Got one or two shots of Fish Eagles in SA but none of them in flight, excellent detail and love the catchlight!

Nice flight image for hand holding the 500, very nice detail and colors on the larger version, well done.

Jim,

Thanks very much, I am getting to old to hold this big one, I cannot wait for the new lighter version

This looks very good Ken. Interesting light, very sharp with good exposure and detail. I'd love to get that newer version of the 500 also but I doubt it'll happen.

Ron,

Thanks very much, if and when the new lens arrives, I hope my piggy bank will have fattened up a lot.
