Dunlin 'flock'
One from approx 10 days ago on a 'rare' sunny day.

I have cloaned out 7 birds that were half in the frame!

1D MkIII 500 + x1.4 @ iso 400 f6.3 1/1600

Hi David,

Nice! I like it too. I know what Paul means though - personally it might be down to the fact that there aren't any half birds in it - just my opinion mind.

I like the round simatry in this one.

Nice looking image.

I could see this as a giant wall print. It would look very impressive, and it would be great to stand back and take it all in.

regards

Agree with Kevin, I too would like to see this as a large wall print, bet it would look pretty impressive! Nice to see that blue sky as well :smile:

Just goes to show that a great wildlife photograph is as much about what you exclude from the image :smile: Like this a lot David. Would make a superb canvas print. Amazing how almost all the birds are in the same wing pattern. :toast: :toast: :toast:

I like the way that it looks like the whole flock and not just a potshot at the middle of a big one. Somehow it seems more intentional.
