Hi Rob,

Well seen and taken. I set the alarm for 5.30 this morning to go over the river for Owl's/Otters but woke up to heavy mist here so did'nt bother, seeing this image will spur me on for tomorrow.
Just looking at your techs (if you had time :rolleyes: before he dissapeared) you could have put your ISO up to give you a better shutter speed, not sure if it is slight motion blur of you have cropped in but looks like to me it could do with a bit more USM.
Anyway great oppurtunity and well taken.

Regards

Rob

Rob,

Cheers for the advice. I agree ISO 200 would have been better, maybe even 400 to gain critical sharpness. It's about a 60% of the original image size so it's quite a crop.

To be honest, I was so excited about the brief glimpse, it's a miracle I can away with anything. :biggrin:
