Re: Intro to Wildlife Shooting-Revised Image

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I knew if I posted here I would get 
some CC. Tried a couple other forums and received virtually none. 
Anyway, with this particular bird my angle was severely limited to one 
spot on a pier at a Marina on the Seattle waterfront and could only get 
this rear viewpoint. Hence the distracting background. This shot shows 
more of the Heron, but not sure if the exposure is better. Maybe too 
much Highlight Recovery in the Bibble Lite conversion.  I hear what you 
guys are saying about the legs though, it makes quite a difference. I 
have some other shots that turned out quite nice of  Kingfisher, 
Goldeneye and Mergansers. I have yet to try the lens out with the F1.7x 
adapter, but I hear that a 1.4x will give better results.
