I'd be happy with that shot. Even got reflection in the eye.

Be interesting to see what you get from it on a nice day.

Shows that the bird has got a "beard" of sorts as well. Very impressive. Are you using a "punka puller" to cart the lens for you?

A good and sharp first attempt, good luck with the surgery.

Rubbish - plus 'everyone' knows it's compulsory to post your fist shots of a DUCK!!!

Looks as though you will be having a few fun days out very soon - looking forward to the non-test shots

Great shot, especially for a practice shot - by the way, there has been a lovely blue sky all day near Bristol.

Pin sharp.
Looks as if it is going to be a promising lens.
