Hi Frederic,

Wonderful flight shot! We do not see them like this very often.
I think a little Shadow Highlight and one more round of USM might improve this a lot.

Well done!

Greetings,

Hi Frederic,

A very nice flight shot! Well done!

Personally I've been trying to capture one that ventures into my garden from time to time but no avail.

He's got until tomorrow to keep these flights to himself or photographers!

Nice capture - shame about the shadow but 'nowt you could do.

Hi Fred,

Nice colourful shot of the cock, but does look a little soft to me.

Very nice indeed, looks sharp enough on my monitor

Was the innuendo intended there Rob!!

Nice pic, well composed but I think a touch more USM needed, mainly around the head area
