Very nice, Joshua! I would have preferred the legs to be sharp as well (on the first shot) but that means you will have to stop it down to f16 at least which will be tough.

Thanks, Bobby! Even at f/16, the legs wouldn't be sharp at that distance. Unless I stopped down to f/16 and moved back for a smaller dimension it would be hard to get everything in sharp. We got too greedy of filling the frame and getting the most bang out of the sensor.

- Philippe, frog legs are actually quite tasty 
Here is another one from the CR trip, not the best but quite decent.
Welcome back, Joshua. Costa Rica looks like it's well worth the visit. I'm looking forward to more pictures. Not sure whether I would dare to venture there, as I try to avoid countries that are home to many snakes.
Btw, just out of curiosity, did you take that hummer with your DO II and the EXIF saying "400 2.8" is wrong or did you bring the 400 4's big, fat 2.8 sibling with you?

Thank you, Chris! As far as the lens concerned, I would say that you do have very keen eyes
. I was prepared to take the 400mm DO Mark II and got everything lined up for that trip. In the last minute, well, 2 days before I received an email from Bobby about the low light conditions there. I wasn't worried about the high ISO capability of the A7r II but still it got me thinking. t already put the 400mm f/2.8 Mark II away and put it in the case ready to get it sold but I could not do it before the trip. So, in 24 hours, I decided to take the f/2.8 lens instead of the DO. Bigger, heavier but as sharp, if not sharper AND faster. I didn't regret my decision. It worked out great actually and I got cleaner background/smoother bokeh with that lens.

Thanks, Joshua. I'd think f2.8 comes in handy in the rain forest. Here is tipping my proverbial hat to you for lugging around this monster of a 3.8 kg lens in no doubt hot and humid conditions. My back would probably go on strike after only half a day shooting with that beast.

Thanks again, Chris! Yes, it was tough especially for someone like me that sweats... no, perspires a lot in the tropics, especially in the rain forest. I was drenched and not from rain, let me tell you that. I had to take a special precaution for that. Actually, we were lucky as far as rains concerned. Although it rained a lot but the timing was actually really great. For the very first time I witnessed and took pictures of hummingbirds bathing in the rain. I even took a video clip of it since it was raining pretty long. What an experience!

I can hear you there. Brings back memories of spending time in places like Singapore or Hong Kong in the middle of August. I sure felt that I was melting and then freezing again, once I went into any air conditioned building. The rain forest must be even worse. However, judging by your pictures and stories it must have been well worth it, which is the most important thing.
To add pictures to this thread again, here is a recent macro attempt taken with the a7rii and my old Minolta 100.

Great capture. I've always loved stars reflecting in water.
And on the clinical side, it's always easier to see star trailing and/or coma in the water too, at least for my aging eyes.
When do you loose the core in Canada?
