Believe it or not, the shot of the Grey Crowned Crane was my favorite from the day. I think many people would immediately trash this picture because of the shadows from the palm fronds, but for me, it's what makes the image. It tells a story.

I completely agree. What makes the shadows ok is that the palm fronds are part of the picture - and luckily the shadows are not too strong.

It's a great lens - as you say, there's resolution to spare even at 300 mm which is soft in other 70-300s. I found it was sharp on my 7D even with a 1.4x, though I didn't use it much due to AF not always working well with the TC.
