A Nearly Shot of a Dunlin
Sadly it happenned in poor light so quickly that I rattled of a couple of shots and focus wasnt at the right distance.

Don't worry Craig - I think most of us would fare no better in the same circumstances :eek:

What happened next - or did that take place out of sight?

Very interesting capture :toast:

You just can't plan for this sort of thing, still a very interesting shot.

As you say, it's definitely an "almost" shot in terms of sharpness, but the framing is spot on :toast:

Cheers,

Dan.

Maybe a 'nearly' shot Craig, but a worthy keeper as a record of the event :toast:

Hi Craig

Fantastic action shot - you did well as I think most of us would have missed it all together. The main thing it lacks is critical sharpness!
