My purpose i just wanna know if i take this photo under bad situation and the result occurred like this that is normal for the canon 200mm f2.8 ( I'm not sure about its capacity in low light of this lens) . this is my first L lens and I'm a new canon user ( i always take photos with iPhone and this is my first camera ). why i buy this lens? I thought my 55-200mm lens is not enough for the low light situation so i decided buy the 200mm f2.8 and i did not realized there is no "IS". I think i have to learn more about lens and how to take a good picture.

Today i took a photos in good light that make me happy with this lens. and thank you all comments.

ps. sorry for my bad English.

It's all part of the learning curve for sure!  I'm happy to hear that you got some good shots with it today.  Like I said, do some comparisons under the same conditions between the 55-200 and the 200/2.8L.  I think you'll be very pleased with the results.
