Got this while out with a few friends yesterday at Jones Beach, NY. The pair were not easy to approach, so I stacked the 2x and 1.4x onto the 500 and started to play.
It was late morning so the sun was pretty high. Sometimes you just have to take whatever you can. Thanks for looking.

Good work on this one, Len. Down here in Texas these guys are very easily spooked.

Len,

This is a very nice shot. Love the pose with the head turn. You handled the high sun very well.

Len, Real nice head turn. A lower angle would have blurred the BG more.

Enjoy viewing

Great stacked converter technique to have this sharp of a result. Well done.
