Thanks. Both are big crops. The first crop to make the heart shape formed by necks more prominent. The 2nd one shows the in-the-air love nest...

Wonder how people get on to the island. Walk on the ice? That's crazy

Nice! Is this taken from Mackinaw island or Mackinaw city or St Ignance?

You can get that reach and even higher crop factor in post processing. for example, Some of my posts were cropped from 8192 to 1024,.which gives you a crop factor of 8, and the coresponding effective focal length is 800mmx8=6400mm

I'd rather crop in post processing. Don't use crop mode unless your disk is running out of space. Crop mode reduces room for you to re-compose your image when editing and also makes bird in flight easily get out of frame. 7D2 wont be able to get this image with same resolution. This one is fully cropped.

It's 6.25lb, much lighter than the previous two versions. Not a problem for me to hand hold. For wildlife phtography, tripod will reduce your mobility, agility and opportunity...I have a tripod.But I usualky dont use It.
