Taken on South Stack today after sitting in a gorse bush for a couple of hours. I was after this style of composition rather than getting the bird full frame
Canon 1D MkII N and 600mm prime
1/500sec@f5.6
iso 200 full frame
Processed in C1 Pro and PS
5% shadow adjustment to lift the head detail slightly.
The session was interrupted by a RAF Search and Rescue Helicopter deciding to hover 20' above my gorse bush. After the best part of 10 minutes the winchman saw me and they moved off. My camo gear must be awesome lmao
Very nice image. I far more like this style than the big ol' bird on a stick shot.
The oof gorse and background go together well.
Regards

Hi Kevin
the bird is a little bit small, but in this setting it works for me.

Nice to see a different composition rather than the usual frame filling subject. You have shown it well and the rest of the scene isn't distracting from the bird.
