1D2n, 600mm f4 is x1.4, 1/800s, f6.3, iso 200.

Thankfully, the RBM's seem to be hanging around. Unfortunately, the conditions in which this image and the previous ones were taken haven't been repeated. I would have liked a little more room on the right to show more of the wake, but that's life!

The detail is better in the larger version:

Superb, especially the way the coloiurs are picked out in the wake (and the bird ain't bad either !!).
