Preening Pochard
I stopped at a harbour full of pochard, The difficult bit was getting a clear shot without other birds getting in the frame,This image is tighter in the frame than i would like but was the only way to get a clear shot

Canon 1D3 500F4 +1.4x 1/800@F6.3 +2/3 iso200

Wow Dave - vibrant image or what :cool: :cool:

Stacks of sharp detail, great colours and nice action :toast: :toast:

Perhaps a tad tight but it's a stunner :wavey:

Hi Dave,

Know the too tight in the frame thing all too well :biggrin: , I am guessing that is the reason for the slight slope.... a superbly detailed image... getting a preening image looking good is often hard , you have done really well here.
