Fun image and great find. Did you need to stop down that much to get them both in focus?

Thanks Morris

Yes I was fairly close to them and I wanted to be sure I got enough dof. I have been experimenting with the 70-200 plus the extenders and am VERY pleased with the results - especially how fast it focuses.

Nice, and good choice of f-stop. They won't even lay their eggs here for another month.

Very nice catch. Looks like there is another full nest in the bokeh behind her as well? You must have had some fun there.
