Lapwing....

ACR5.3 + resize & sharpen CS4.

Hi,

One from Saturday... After what was a dissapointing morning, harsh light proving the undoing, I headed out to Elmley Marshes for the afternoon, watched the Kestrels, spotted a pair of Curlews and read the sightings board.

Spent the rest of the time with some confiding Lapwings...

All the best

Phil

A lovely image of a Lapwing in my opinion! On a 50D as well, can't fault you, lol.
Regards,
Paul. :wavey:

Gorgeous! Lovely tones. Looks like you were on the ground rather than in the car.

A photographer I met at Elmley one day told me that he went there because he never came away empty handed. You certainly seem to match his expectations. A lovely shot of an under-rated species.

Superb colours against a complementary BG. What more could one want? Excellent.
