Fight (part 2)

Canon 20D, 100-400@400, 1/640, f6.3, iso400, minor crop

Almost the end of the fight when they 'agreed' a draw A slightly lower angle to this one than the first.

I personally do not think it works as well as the first one and welcome any comments.

Terry

I'd agree with you Terry that it doesn't have quite the same impact as the previous one.Possibly due to the fact that both birds were more in profile in the previous one and allthough the lighting levels were likely the same,I find the light has come across a little harsher here due to the large exanse of white water and the top edge of the wing catching the light.
Worth keeping though as it's one of a series showing the progress and outcome of the dispute.

Hi Terry,

Preferring number one too, but this is a def keeper. Lacks the splash of the first (although I prefer the beady eye contact here) but as Justin says they work as a set too.

A chick with a killer-claw.... Actually I too preferred the first one. This appears a bit overexposed (or could be my new sceen at work...)

Thanks guys, much as I thought, but its good to get confirmation

Helge, probably not your screen its probably me trying to overcome the light conditions

Terry

A fine compliment to your previous shot Terry

I agree that the previous shot has more impact, but still a fine action shot.
