p.1 #1La Jolla Pelicans with Canon 70-200 II
Shot these last weekend with my "new" 70-200/2.8L IS II + 1.4x II on a 5D II. All shots were hand-held, with the TC. All images are crops in varying degrees. #12 is heavily cropped - approx 75%. This 70-200/2.8 II is freaking sharp!

Nice set Bobby. I really like #12 and that early morning sky is so lovely in #1.

Wonderful Bobby. Great combo. I have the same. I also use the 2xIII which very good results. Thanks for sharing with us.

Those guys are a blast to shoot Bobby! Wonderful set, great job on the neck throws, they weren't doing that when I was there a few ago 
Watch the whites, they are looking pretty hot but then again I'm looking on the lousy monitors at work

Thanks Paul and Tim! Yes, they are a lot of fun to shoot. The lighting is really only good for about an hour or so and then it gets very contrasty.

Thank you kmunroe, and thanks Will! Yes, this lens is certainly a keeper. It's almost as good as the 300/2.8L that I sold last year ... fearing the Mk II version will cause the market value of the old one to crash - that didn't happen though.
