There are thousands of these around in Pembrokeshire this winter but I haven't really had the time to target them properly which is a shame as I think they are very attractive birds indeed. This one was a chance shot taken over the christmas break.
500mm
1/500 @ f8 iso 250
A fairly large crop.

Thousands have also been brought in to my local park here in Swansea, too, by the cold weather. Never seen so many, and never at such close range (I got near head-shots with a 300mm!). You have certainly done a good job capturing their beauty. Nice one.

the OOF areas look slightly noisy to me, but otherwise very nice.

At ISO 250 it has made the OOF BG and foreground seem realy noisey.
I would apply some Gausian Blur to these two areas to calm it down a bit.

A bit noisy, but still an excellent portrait, well seen and taken.

Noise mentioned but an attractive shot nonetheless :smile:
