This photo is not impressive in itself, however it was a frame capture of an HD video I made with my Panasonic GH2 testing my zoom lens.  Link to the video I posted in the Best Of Thailand forum is below.

I saw this Green Bee Eater a couple of weeks ago in our garden.  Very pretty and brave enough to sit within range while I went to fetch the camera.

Very nice photo. The DOF (bokeh) is remarkable.   I was curious as to the specifics for getting that closeup of a shot.

What it doesn't mention is the x1.4 extender.  It was a 70-200mm f/2.8L lens with IS and although the bird was obligingly close to our sala hide, it is still quite a tight crop.  I've hardly done any bird pictures but when I get our garden in order (about 10 years at the present rate) I'll try to put a convenient bird perch within range.  This one was about 3 or 4m away at the most, by the way.

Nice Bee-eater.
I got this Sunbird with my 150 mm macro lens a few days back, a bit cropped ;-)

Just as a side note. I was hiking today and found a tiger kill here. I asked the locals and they said it was two days old. It was a wild buffalo or something with huge horns. I speak a little thai. And asked the guy some questions. He said tiger are regular there and were after the elephant babys but could not get to them and got the buffalo. Also they showed me where bears were. I saw the marking on the trees and it was really great. A big first for me. I am heading back tomorrow to just sit and look. The locals said I needed to build a stand in the trees there to photo them?  Hummmmm interesting.
