He needs them to carry that flippin lens! Oops sorry...did you mean the lynx?

Lovely shot. That oof foreground and background really sets it off and the tongue plus catchlights in the eyes just puts the icing on the cake. Excellent.

[.....I'm looking forward to meeting a certain tasty morsel called Green"].... not going to ask :biggrin:

Splendid image, I would love to see the same but at around 4-450mm, just so the subject is a little smaller in the frame... Is that 3-800 vignetting on full frame?

Only nit and it is so minor and not really worth mentioning is that it may be just a little, I mean a little on the warmish side given the snow :biggrin:

BTW saving up to go there....

Phil - the "vignetting" is not consistent so I doubt there's a problem, but then again.... :biggrin: :biggrin:

Keep saving, we'll go together :wavey: :wavey: :cool: :cool:

lovely image, only thing for me is that perhaps it would have been better shot slightly wider perhaps f8 to get the ear tufts crisp. other than that quite jealous.
