Not posted for a while, but thought I would give this a try! Must thank Danny for pointing me in the right direction, after driving from the midlands to the east coast my better half refused to cross the firing range!!
Bit of a swirl blowing,
1D mk 2 + 500 f4 @ 5.6 iso 250 1/1600sec's

Thanks all

Nice POV and composition Andy. Looks really wild out there. I hope you had your camera and lens well covered. Agree with Julian about the sharpening. Nice to have met you Saturday. :wavey:

Ok , ok I'm in enough trouble as it is ....
Thanks Ian , I agree he was ,uncouth and totally unsportsman like .I'll not bring him again.LOL
Andy the image nits are covered , I can confirm the raw /tiff is spot on and maybe a tadge of jpeg sharpening is all that is required prior to posting .A couple of catchlights wouldn't go amiss in those sombre black eyes too. They are there just need lifting a tadge .
From your raw file..
