Hi

Had a great weekend on the moors, many species with young ones now.

I liked the 3D effect of this female golden plover.

Critique............essential

Hello Brian

Lovely birds.

I think I might have shot at a smaller aperture myself in order to blur that b/g a bit more.

Are you using a 400 F/5.6?

Regards

Looks sharp to me, but agree that the background is a little distracting.

Background nit already covered - otherwise a really nice capture - good one

Hi ARD

Yes I am using the Canon 400 F5.6, I find it extremely handy in all situations.

The contrast and speed of the AF are winners.

Hi Brian,

Great shot, glad to see you are getting fantastic results with the 400mm dont be to bothered about shooting wide open with it, the sharpness is high at all apertures i found.

Cheers
Brian
