Lovely image Raj. I have been thinking of buying the 300 F4 for quite some time now. Your images are prompting me to take the decision faster. The wing blur does look nice. Like the blues in the wings. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely mood captured due to the eyes being in focus and wings blurred. Its left wing, right on the image merges with the highlights. Else, it would have looked better.

Not sure if this image is clicked with a Canon or a Nikon equipment. Seems to be a large crop and then sharpened. The noise gets sharpened as well. The details on the tail part is not there. Wish the leaves in the foreground were left in focus. The same scene with a longer tele lens would have been really nice. Thanks for sharing.

Murugan,
The 300mm f4 VR will be sharper than your zoom. You can use a 1.4x as well as a 1.7x converter. The 1.7x will degrade a bit, however, you can still manage and will be better than your present lens.

Cheers,
