Paradise Tanager - Canon 200mm Lens Comparison

[gatorbill]

Although not a scientific comparison since the shots were not taken under controlled conditions and identical exposure. I thought others might be interested in seeing these shots I took of a Paradise Tanager at the San Diego Zoo with these three different lenses. 100% crop images are available for download at the following Zenfolio gallery:

Thanks, the model of the shots is getting lots of complements everywhere I've posted, and rightfully so since it is a beautiful bird. I love the reactions of people as they come into the aviary and see it for the first time, all you hear over and over again is WOW LOOK AT THAT ONE WITH THE GREEN HEAD !!!
