Hi to all,

Robin , photographed yesterday morning , struggled with the harsh lighting on this one and regardless of which camera settings I used the colours didn't look right , I think some much needed cloud cover was the answer to my problem

, thanks for looking.

Converted in DPP / Processed in CS2 (Cropped)

Canon 1D3 , 500F4IS + 1.4T/c , Gitzo1325 , Wimberley v2

All comments welcome

Very nice - love the diagonal of the perch and bird

On his shouting perch - always love shots like this one Andy

There's a couple of CS plug-ins that can help with harsh lighting a bit - both by Digital Film Tools - Ozone is one and 55mm is the other; the 55mm being the most useful imho and well worth having - far superior to Nik stuff too

Fantastic image

looks good to me too, I often prefer to see some sunshine on birds' feathers. It always nice to catch one mid-song. Nice perch too.

Looks great to me, don't think the light is too harsh

Seems ok to me Andrew like the leg up stance and of course the capture of it in full song.
