Over in Sweden photographing divers amongst other things. It's fair to say that to do these birds justice, conditions are everything and to that end, it's been very dull and windy for most of the time! This was from the very first morning while I was still finding my feet - conditions as yet unrepeated.

Canon 1dIIn, 500mm, ISO200.

Typically underplayed. How much colour temperature tweaking done! ;-)

Another beauty - I agree the tree in the background adds a lot.
