This gives a great feeling of space and the vastness of the sky. What I wouldn't give to be able to soar like this. You have captured the Buzzard very well and the exposure is spot on.

We are too narrow here in the UK compared to the rest of Europe when it comes to nature shots. We must try to get away from the conventional portrait and frame filling shots and try some environmental shots and some more artistic interpretations too.
Hi Alan, it works for me. To be quite frank this is how we mostly see the Buzzard, and therefore many have the same kind of photo. You don't often see them posted though. Exposure is spot on, and the bird is very nice marked, and the photo surely conveys the sense of "Master of the air".

Certainly nice to see a different approach posted so good on you for that Alan - I like the idea a lot, the techs are good too, but the light just a little dull to really make it sing.

Agree with Mark about the light, but otherwise nice perspective

7 repliesThis might not appeal to some as the buzzard is'nt close.But that is not what this shot is about.
The idea of the shot is to show the height of the Buzzard, in the vast freedom of "his" sky.
