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.
