The Lookout (c)
Taken at the same snowy workshop as Kevin's flying great grey owl. I wasn't as successful as Kevin with my flight shots, but am interested if this works. How does it work as an environment shot? Does it convey the wintery conditions we had? Any other comments? I have always found comments on this forum particularly constructive and educational so please feel free to comment as you see it.

Techs: 20D,70-200mmf2.8LIS @ 78mm,1/250,f5.6,200ISO. Hand held, ACR,CS2,Photokit Sharpner.

Thanks

Works for me and certainly portrays the weather conditions, although they are a part of our landscape these days I wonder about removing the telephone wires/poles, but that is minor.

A nice environment image...

Hi David, great shot does what it says on the tin! I agree with removing the poles in the background. My shots of ths guy were all close up to fill the frame. I like this with the extra space around. Nice one

Hi David - a very nice image :toast:

I'd be cloning out the poles and wires too + the branch top right and the tree in the middle - I think there's six or perhaps seven hedgerows receeding into the fog so I'd want to get rid of anything that detracted from them.

Super shot all the same :toast: :wavey:

Regards

Andy

Thanks everyone for your comments. I need some practice with my cloning technique so I'll give it a go.
