Hi Craig.

I like the in-flight shot even though as you say its heavily cropped, its still holding some detail in the wings.But looses it in the head(which is a shame.

If you dont mind, i tweeked the shot in PS, cuz it looks sort of dull(dark).

A combination of levels, curves and brightness.Just to see what i mean.

Thanks Alan an improvement.

Alans repost is an improvement but the heavy crop takes the edge off and makes the image grainy-still better than any redshank i have

It's a pity it wasn't closer as the pose is fantastic. Even with the crop a very fine image and a much better flight shot of Redshank than most of us have I'm sure!
