Thanks a ton, Abhijit, giridhar, akbrahma, Vyas ji and Thad! Glad you liked the set.
Really did enjoy time back in the field

Very nice set. Definitely 3rd one stands out for me. The glow around the head is quite nice.
How do you find the 100-400? I'm not a tele shooter but I am considering giving long range photography a try. FF tele lenses are too heavy considering I'm not getting any younger. A 50-200 also seems very handy.
