I took this picture with my new 100-400L Canon Lense (that I bought from Poon at a very good price) this afternoon.
I still have to get use to the lens.

Congrats! Interesting picture. Can't help but wonder whether a rectangular crop with more space on the right would be an improvement.

Looks like it can minimum focus reasonably well!

That's NOT a duck!!!

You weren't the person I saw wandering around the Domain/Botanic Gardens with a long Canon by any chance?
It would have been about that size & he was shooting birds. Your Sig says Brisbane, not Sydney but...

Great photo & well spotted.

Thank you guys. I cropped the image to remove unwanted/distracting area. I must admit I enjoyed using the lens, but I have a long way to go yet.
Mr. Darcy, I was around the pond of Brisbane Botanical gardens yesterday afternoon between 3 and 4:30. I am bold on top and with gray hair around the head? The same person you saw? I saw several people carrying slr and big lenses, but I was the only one with a white one. Maybe we should get a badge with the "dSLrUsers".

Congrats on the purchase... I'm sure you'll love the lens.

Love the subject, and love how you have captured the chicks taking a sneak peak at the world. For me I would try and go a little lower to the subject to give more of a sense of being part of the scene... but that's me.

Think it's a great capture - close enough to a duck for me, sure the two of you will be very happy

I think Greg was talking about the Royal Botanical Gardens in Sydney.

I like the idea of a DSLRusers badge, but probably not a sticker to put on my lenses...maybe a patch to put on my camera bag!
