Your new lens does wonders in your hands Nicholas, this really is a fine capture in good focus and exposure for a hand-held take. Nice to now that the image stabiliser works perfectly.

Hello Nick
Well the lense is sharp enough!!..Good buy..You couldnt wait though!!
This glorious Bird is either a Wiilow Warbler or possibly a wood warbler..It is definitely not a Chiff Chaff..Wheres Ivan when you need Him!!
Cracking Shot Nick..(perhaps f10 was a bit to much)
A good sunday to you sir

what glorious colours as if like 14K gold...not as deep as 24K...but somewhere in the ballpark. A warbler eh? Well they are a noisy bunch but a welcome sounds at that. Nice shot.!

Hello Nick,
Chiff-chaffs and Willow Warblers are often confused when the song is not heard.
Generally though, WW's tend to be greenish grey and pale yellow, whereas CC's tend to have more brownish tones.
So judging by this fine capture I would say that the brownish cheek indicates a Chiff-chaff.
Nice sharpness and lighting and the compositon and POVagainst the blue sky is great.
TFS this fine image and have a good Sunday,
Ivan

Congrats on getting the 300 IS f4. I'm very pleased with mine!

Wonderful bird image you did shoot with your great new toy :)
Excellent sharpness, almost square format and composition.
Wonderful colors, color contrast, details, light and catchlight in the eye.

Como siempre, un buen dominio del encuadre. No tiene la nitidez de otras de tus tomas, aunque igualmente es una instantánea que demuestra maestría con la cámara.
