I must post a full-length shot as well because I love their 'football socks' as my wife refers to their colourful leg markings.

Thanks, Donald. I am blown away by the 52 MP sensor of this 5DS R. I was scared when I bought it because some said one can't keep it steady enough especially with long lenses but I have found that to be wrong. I have a Barska hand grip attached to the long lens. That and the excellent IS of the 100-400 L II work well.
