I like that one much!

You got some nervous bokeh goin' on. I like the shot, but I'd crop it tight above the heron in order to cut out the background.

I agree. First time I noticed it with the xf50-140. I think the subject needs to be a little closer perhaps? Plus it was high sun, lots of green, not optimal conditions is my theory. I was going to use it tomorrow for some senior pics but going to bring the 60 and the 55-200 along as well.

As a side note, soon as I seen this image, I thought, 100-400 but I didn't have it with me. It's a good lesson on what this lens is and isn't. I have got some pretty bokeh from this lens but subject needs to be close, plus high sun on green background is probably going to produce this every time with this lens design. It probably would have been different if the subject was within the 50 to 70mm from lens plane. This was at 140mm with no crop. I think I shot it at 2.8.

Great photo.
Looks like they're so mad that they can't even stand to look at each other.
