Short-eared Owl (Asio flammeus)

Taken with 600mm plus 2x extender and Canon 1D Mark lll Just got the 2x extender so I am pleased with the first results, I had heard many negitve reviews on the 2x for sharpness but this is acceptable.

I can't see a lot wrong with this image. A stunning portrait of a fabulous looking owl. What amazing eyes. That's a seriously long lens combination you are using. Very impressive results JT.
 
Excellent image. In my opinion the 2x is underrated. I use one with a good success rate. Well done.
 
Thats excellent for 600mm X2, Might get one myself for my 500 f4, the eye is tack sharp. Nice one Jim!
