Lucky Dip
An autumnal dipper, a struggle as it was a dark day up here in Mordor.

D300s, 300 F/2.8 + 1.7TC, 1/200th at F/5, ISO 2500

Nice detail and love the colours in the background. Very autumnal indeed. :wavey: :smile:

The processing is fantastic, have you give it any special treatment/filter?
Posted by Tim Munsey on November 8, 2009 at 4:20 PM
Hi Andy,
No special treatment, I guess the noise reduction would have been higher than normal, wonderful colours around in autumn.

iso 2,500 :eek: . Incredible! Lovely image with vivid colours. If anything, I might crop a little from the right.

Did it think it could hide from you?

A cracking shot with fab detail and lots of 'colour interest'.

Has it been taking hiding lessons from a local ostrich? LOL. Nice shot, lovely quality at any ISO setting.

Stunning!!!!!!!!! great action captured and wonderful colours,brillant image of my favorite bird Tim :wink: :wavey:

Brilliantly processed Tim and if it were mine I'd be well pleased. Perhaps clone out the top of the perch to give a tidier back line on the bird ?

The reflected colours and the postioning of the three leaves all add to show off the main subject matter. Nice one Tim.
