A decent day, so I went into Dartmouth with my new 300mm F4.

If the following pictures appear, I would welcome all C&C

I think we need the Mods to check the title!

Thanks for your comments guys, and to the PF team for amending the title!
BTW, is that a border terrier avatar Cliff?

The detail on the first two is incredible - can almost read the lettering on the tag around the swan's leg!

I too am impressed with the resolution. Someone on a recent thread described the lens as a long focus macro, well, maybe not quite but this is a shot I took at the same time from about 4 metres, hand held:

That is one scary lens...

Excellent shots that serve well to demonstrate the quality of that lens.

I'm not so fond of #3 somehow. Maybe that has to do with the fact that every early morning over the last few days I had a similar picture next to one of the bedroom windows... with full sound effects, of course
Well, it will all be over come July and the chicks are gone

That extra pic you posted is fantastic! Makes me really want this lens...

I'll second that. Unusual shot and the quality jumps out at you from every pixel - even at this resolution.
