First three, Nikon 70-200VR + TC17EII (My equipment)
Next three, Sigma 70-300 (xorl lens)
We changed equipment about half way, so xorl could get the feel of the 70-200VR + TC17EII.

Do you know why the first and third images look a little soft? I thought it might have been some camera movement, but the VR should have removed that.

The light was uneven (mid afternoon), plus it was shot through perspex.
Then for comparison, shots taken earlier with the same equipment in the open:

Ah, the perspex would be the cause. I don't know which is worst, shooting through perspex or wire mesh.

I would love to take shots of lions and tigers in their natural habitat .
