Stunning photograph - have you got yourself a new lens?

@dobbino: I'm using a Canon 2.0 extender with my 70 – 200mm to get the 400mm. I bought the extender back in the summer. It really slows down focusing with the 70 – 200 and the bokeh is not nearly as natural looking as without it, but it does have some useful applications. Have a nice weekend ... ron
