Find the top a bit distacting but a nice behavioural image

Yes I agree with the above. I reckon a square crop with the subjects left a bit would help too. Difficult with two birds I appreciate.
Cheers

Ha! I love it. Agree you might crop the dark stuff at the top. The action is wonderful.

Lovely shot Phil. I was going to post one of these whiuch I took at the weekend, but it was a big crop and I don't know if I dare now. Now how much is an 800?

Hi Phil great capture of the two birds but I feel on my monitor it could do with a bit more USM.

Nice one Phil,

Having seen your picture and your equipment list I have a hunch that we may have been in the same RSPB hide yesterday. Curiosity killed the cat...

Best regards,

Austin

Hi Austin that is quite possible I was on the left-hand side they were two other gentlemen to my left.

Ps and was the only one probably using a tripod for the monster lens
