Good shot, Nancy! You must have been close with a 70-200 lens!

Nancy, Nice pose and eye. Unfortunately, quite soft and problems with exposure so that you have lost all detail in the blacks. Don't know of any lenses other than the 300 2.8 that produce sharp images with a 2x extender. Usually, a 1.4x or 1.7x is about the most one can get away with.
If you'd share more info (SS, aperture, etc), we could offer more suggestions.

Hi Nancy,
Tough challenge to keep all shadow AND highlight detail on a black bear caught in the sun! This is the type of image that almost always requires a raw capture and then very careful raw conversion and normally a lot of selective editing to bring out all the detail. I do like the head-turn and good that you captured the light in the bear's left eye. I'm not a Canon shooter so can't really comment on how well the 2x TC works on various Canon lenses - there is some softness here but that can be caused by a lot of different things...
Cheers...thanks for sharing this and looking forward to seeing more in the future...
