First chance to properly try out the new lens today - it is stunning. Here is one of my first efforts. This would come within a foot of me when I was lting on the ground and even sat on my tripod!

Nikon D300s
Nikon 200-400
Handheld (resting on the ground)
F4
1/400s
ISO 500

What a lovely image, Oscar. I like the point of view and the colours very much. :smile:

The second post is an improvement, but the shot already had a lot going for it with the low pov and well-controlled dof. I look forward to seeing more with that new lens.
