Dunnock
Hi to all,

Haven't posed for a while , not been out much due to work commitments , so here's a Dunnock from this afternoon.

Levels , Usm(100,0.5,1 x2) , S/h(2,1) , Contrast , Cropped to portrait to remove clutter , a little tight and big in the frame I know , but I like it , shame about the OOF stalk running from the bottom left corner.


Canon 40D , 500F4IS , Gitzo1325 , Wimberley v2
1/500th @ F8 iso320 RAW

All comments welcome

Regards

Andy... :smile:

stunning, pin sharp and a great pose, the OOF twig in front is a little distracting

In full voice on his shouting perch - nice one Alan :toast:

Only nit is the obvious one and there's not a lot you can do about that :wink:

Nit covered but this is one great shot. You don't get that chance very often. Well done, great job.

Great shot and contrary to most I prefer the big in frame shots shows every detail helps with my effort to improve ID skills. Thank you.
