    Super shot Glenn, my favourite waterfowl and Slimbridge is about the best place to see them. We are hoping to visit on Sunday, weather permitting

      A cracking shot Glenn. That's quite a combination you're using. Was it hand held or on a tripod?

          Hi Brian, No tripod, just resting on a window sill of a hide. However it is the mk II version so i can and have handheld it.

          Hi Paul, This lens +1.4tc really does help to smooth out the background and helps isolate the duck providing you have the separation. But you have to hope there are no out of focus black or white blobs ( other birds ) which can and does ruin a lot of my shots.

          Also having up loaded it to this site it has shown up a dust bunny just ahead of the beak. So back to Lightroom to rectify. I'll leave this version here thou.

                Excellent

                I'm going to Slimbridge myself in a couple of weeks. If I get anything half as good as that I'll be chuffed.
