Curlew, Bingley Moor, West Yorkshire,2007

Taken on a lovely warm evening in June. Wish there was a bit of cloud in the pic, but there was n't a cloud in the sky.

Tecs 1d2n 400mm 5.6L x 1.4, 2000th @ f8.0, iso 800.LR and CS3. First frame in a burst - the head isn't quite pin sharp, the next frame is but the wing positions are not as good. Sods law :smile:

Comments appreciated

Cracking flight shot John :toast: :toast:

It looks a bit 'contrasty' on this new HP - makes it look over-sharpened even when its not - perhaps turning the contrast down a bit might be a good idea - or maybe it's just me :biggrin:
