Great shots, especially the first a loverly depth of field. What lens were you using for this ?

 

[rodney]

Thanks ,I was using the canon 55-250

2 nice shot, love the colour in the 1st (think its a Roller), and as said the DoF works on that one,

Was the lion taken through glass or wire, only ask as the bokeh looks lite what I sometimes get shooting through wire with the 100-400.

The lion was shot through wire.Was thinking of getting the 100-400.Would i see a big improvement in image quality?

The 100-400 is a great lens, it is my most used if I am honest, takes some getting use to, you would see the benefit of the 400mm, but does all depend on what you intend to use it for.

Love the Bird shot.

both great but esp like the first as I've tried to get a shot of the Roller he's tricky never in a good position
