blog.

My laptop died so having just got it back I have been trying to catch up with editing.

Going for something very different here as it was taken on an overcast morning so any c&c appreciated.

1/400s f/5.6 ISO640 400mm handheld

Sorry Liam does nothing for me. I can't see any detail in the image - or maybe its my monitor. :frown: :confused: Would like to see what it looked like in colour. :wavey:

Hi Liam, sorry, does nothing for me either. I think if there was more definition in the wing tips it may be different. :smile:

I quite like this Liam and think it works quite well against the completely white sky. Not to everyones' tastes but certainly a bit different.

Maggie & Ian,
I was trying to get the focus on the face/eyes so I got rid of most of the detail in the wings but tbh there is almost none in the original image as I over exposed due to the sky and not expecting the bird to fly straight at me.

Thanks for comments, I realise like most of my pictures that it won't be everyones cup of tea.

Love the pose caught and the composition Liam,just lacks a bit of sharpness,but very different and I like the image/ideal :wink: :wavey:

I like the idea Liam but for me the execution isn't quite there. Needs more detail and needs to be sharper.
