Shot yesterday at nearby wetlands not too far from my house.
I went down to water level shooting against the sun.
1D4, SIGMA 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM (SPORT)
1/640, ISO-2000, f/8 handheld.

Please click on the image for uncompressed view, thank you.

Ludo, great low angle, nice backlight, and good detail in the bird. The bright area to the left tends to draw my attention away from the lovely Lesser Yellowlegs, so if this were mine, I would burn the area down a little. An easy fix to a fine image. Appears the new lens is serving you very well. :D
