This is really super, (you've cloned the perch jest), a great in flight pose, only minor nit is that I would prefer a touch more space for the buzzard to fly into...
Very nice I like to see them big in the frame I know it's not everyone's cup of tea to see them like that.

What a great image - sharp and perfectly exposed. I quite like the way it fills the frame.

Where's the kilt? A great capture, though a bit tight for my liking, still grand all said.

Very good image John. I too wish it were mine

P.S. Just thinking for all those who comment that they wish it were theirs.......we could start a timeshare scheme where you buy the copyright for a set time period and pass it off as yours

Cracker of a shot

Hi John, a very nice flight image. My only nit is some noise in the bird. Did you have to make a lot of correction to the exposure ?
Posted by John MacTavish on November 15, 2006 at 3:16 PM
Too tight? Not really for my taste.
My only nit would be to have not cloned out its perch. I think the perch completes the story, here it looks as if the bird is hanging in mid air with no link to where it came from.

Hi John
Nice result, I would like to see your original shot to compare. A bit tight, maybe adding some space on the left would help. Otherwise great looking image.
cheers

I dream of a shot like this. Slightly more room for it to fly into and it would be perfection for me
