Buzzard and Rainbow
Waking up this morning i was not too happy as my current workload prevented me from going out with the camera..
But....then when i looked out my office window i saw a wonderfull rainbow showing and heard my favourite Buzzard calling in the distance!
I did not hasitate and got my gear ready for this shot that i had in mind.
Perhaps a horizontal would have been nicer but my neighbours house was in the way leaving me with a vertical with quite a lot of space at the top. On the other hand i did not want to crop this one too much as that would have taken out the landscape feel...

Sometimes staying home isn't that bad...

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

This is a beautiful catch Jeroen,
sometimes when we have our eyes open things happen just in front of us.
It is a compensation to sitting hours in a hide.

I think it is nicely executed but for me there is too much "dead" space on top.

I like the empty space - I reckon you could sell this to nearly every religious organisation on the planet to use with some inspirational piece of text at the top
