Pic. taken recently. 1DMK2n 400mm lens 1.4 conv. 1/1250 F8 ISO 800. All comments Welcomed.

Gorgeous picture, whilst it is a shame about those out of focus stones in the foreground, the low angle on the bird more than makes up for it.

Very nice picture. Lovely detail and colours.

Very nice, I don't mind the OOF stones, my shots are often similar, I think it helps to centre attention on the Bird...

Hi John,

That's one very low point of view! The foreground stones don't bother me! Beautiful image as presented!

Lovely shot John.
I'm the same as Phil, most of my shots are taken from low angles and the foreground is always out of focus, I quite like it that way.

Fine shot the low angle makes the bird stand out

Not a great fan of such low viewpoints, as to my mind it can create more problems than it solves, re foregrounds and intrusive backgrounds, but here it works.

An excellent shot, no crit’s.

That is a beautiful picture John. No nits from me at all.

I really like the soft light on this one, the OOF top and bottom just concentrate my eye to the highlight in the birds eye.

very nice image, the light and setting are excellent

Works well on many levels John - nice shot and shows what even older generation Canon's can do at ISO 800!!

Beautyful shot. IMO the OOF stones are part of making the picture as good as it is now.

I could watch these birds all day. Captured well, as you have done here, reminds me of sunnier times........Lovely capture.

a lovely shot, the low POV works very well for me.
