1D2n, 600mm f4 is, 1/800s, f4, iso 400

Taken today at the Scottish Nature Photographers Fair in Perthshire. Thanks to Nick for drawing attention to this event, on my doorstep!! I managed to negotiate with the family and had an excellent half day. I lay flat on the ground for this in order to hide the jess. Added a little canvas to the left. Next challenge is to find a wild one!

a beautiful bird and a well taken shot. You did well to hide the jesses.

Hello Ian.

It might not be wild but its still a well captured image and works very well. Good choice on the POV to hide the jess.

The only thing I could add is to bring the catch light out of the eye a bit more. I can see one there but its dark. I think it would really lift the image if it was brighter.
