MKIV with 400 is one sweet combo Socrate and the last IF is one sweet shot my friend. Looks like 7D w/2x is maxed out and just missing the mark on sharpness a bit.
I do like their coloring and I do like your sky

Welcome back, Italy sounds like a wonderful place to be! In fact one of my good customers just baked and brought me an Italian meat pie...............wow what a treat it is!
Karl

Thanks, Karl. The mark IV and the 400/5.6 make the perfect match for IF shots.
It is always nice to go back to Italy where I spent most of my years

Glad you enjoyed some Italian food. May be one day you will have the opportunity to try my Italian baked pasta

It's a very beautiful collection, Socrate.
Did you find some wildlife in Italy? It's only about 2K mile from where I live.

Chris

Thanks Chris. I did see some wildlife in Italy, but I never got the chance to do any shooting

Beautiful species in a lovely setting sure made for a great set of images here Socrate.

Wonderful detail, terrific BG's and compositions, and richly saturated colors make these some very special captures.

Terrific work once again.

Rare to see this Duck on the board Socrate and appreciate seeing these

Love the IF's but I think my favorite is the 1000mm shot with that wonderful color and BG

Tom

Thank you Tom > Glad you liked these.
I'm pretty much impressed with the good results of the 500+2xTC on the 7D
