partridge
Couldn't do any shooting on the weekend:frown:. So this one was taken last summer on the isle of sheppey, at sunset, from a car.

I have some closer, vertical shots but they are all in half light so I was less sure about them. Considered cropping it but i can't bring myself to chop bits off my photos.

350D + 400mm F4L
1/1250 @ F8
ISO 400

There appears to be a dust sopt to the left of the bird about head level. It also looks like it could do with a little more usm,

Nice light Jack but a bit too much dead space on the left for me. Could probabl;y get away with a bit more USM too. :toast:

Well done to get a Sheppey Partridge out in the open on top of one of the posts, they are normally quite secretive there, the light looks like it was nice but the image appears to need a bit of a lift perhaps in levels to give a shade more punch, also the negative space is just a little bit too much as Graeme says, Oh and of course the dust spot....
