I took this with a 50mm in Padstein, I wondered if it's good to restrict ones self to a poxy lens every now and then. My back thought so anyways.

Cheers now

Its different so must be applauded,Nothing like using a wide/standard type lens to give a different perspective,The dull day has helped with the feather detail and even lighting :toast:

Me thinks Tim has a bit more meat on him than the guy behind.
If the BG to the left of the photographer was absent then both Man and bird together go well. Dont know about you but if I remove my 600 its like walking around without anything on if you see what I mean.
Nicely different Tim :toast:

Hi Tim,

Must agree with the others that its nice to see something different. However, the person in the background doesn't trouble me as it shows the close relationships between these birds and man, especially at various coastal resorts etc. Hope that doesn't sound too strange.

Regards Chris.
