Lovely perch and eye contact. I liked the details and the clean background. A slight higher ISO and shutter speed would helped further. Thanks for sharing.

P.S - 300 f2.8 I have been planning to buy for a long time :(. It surely is a sharp lens. You captured it nicely at such low shutter speed. I had tried the old lens. What is the weight of the new 300 f2.8?

Lovely details on the kf. The 300 f2.8 surely is a great lens (both canon & nikon). But cost wise I think its about 2.5k USD which is a bit steep. But then good things come at a cost :). Thanks for sharing.

thanks friends,...Mridul, the weight is now slightly reduced, it is about 2350 gms. cost is now much higher, about 3.75 L.

The cost of the new 300 f2.8 is very high. Same case for the other super teles. I am sure you will soon find the sweet spot interms of shutter speed for handholding. 1/80 is definitely less. Nice pose. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
