Knot - North Norfolk

Took these waders flying just off the tide line on the North Norfolk Coast

Comments most welcome

Nice image a bit of seperation would have been nice but then: they are not the Red arrows!

Nice fligth shot, Chris. Could do with another round of USM

nicely caught, would perhaps like a bit more room on the left for them to fly into.

Hi Chris,

Great shot! A touch more room to the left would improve the compo IMO!

Love this shot, a tad more USM and perhaps a bit off the top.

Tim

Well captured flight shot as the contrast is quite low.

Nice group of Knot in flight Chris, but no mention of any techs.

Major.

Very nice. Yes and a strip off top,bottom and right would help. Calls for a panoramic approach I reckon.

Thank you very much for all your comments.

For info the techs are : 1D mk3; 500mm IS; 1/2500; f7.1; ISO500; +.33

The weather was, err how do I put this....... poor!

I see all your views on the crop, it's about a quarter, with a lot more birds in the frame, what I was attempting to show was a capture of the birds, in some detail, where the eye normaly just captures in a flash (bearly being able to identify the species) but still leave in the big sea aspect.

Its been great to get such positive and constructive comments

Thank you

Chris

Hi Chris,
I'm trailing behind as usual here, but iIreally liked the concept. Some details. like usm and more seperation would definitely have improved it, but what can you do about the latter.
The big sea, really makes the picture for me and if I had been clever enough to see the idea, I would try it again whenever possible.

Thanks Eric... taken on board about the grouping, I nver know how far to go with the sharpening, any tips?

Regards

Chris
