One from this week. I used my floating hide again for the first time in more than a year. Bad luck for me though as the wheater wasn't all that great. It even started to rain and shutterspeeds of 1/100 were the best I could get(at iso 1600!!!!).
This shot was the first one I took (at 6am - iso was still on 200) and I thought I'd trow it away but actually I think it's still worth showing.... :confused:

What do you guys think?

30D | iso 200 | f5.6 | 1/5s

Sorry Sam not for me if it was just blurred feel it might have worked but three bill images just makes me go wobbly. Having said that I do like the overall colouration of this image.

Hello Sam,

I made myself a picture like this of a goose some time ago. I do not know why but I still have it.
May be for the same reason you kept this one. Something mysterious??

Hello Sam,

Like Major, I really like the overall colours and atmosphere of this shot but I have to agree also about the three bill. I think that if the two "less prominent bills" were behind the main one (ie. to the right of the image and behind the direction of the bird) it may have worked a lot better.
