The colours look a bit washed-out on my screen Jeroen, other than that another solid shot of a MH from the master!

the colours do look a bit washed out but easily fixed. A nice shot otherwise that shows off the impressive wingspan.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your comments so far... :wavey:
I guess you are right on the color issue and perhaps it happened when i was saving for web as the original looks better in color, so here's a repost..

I liked the first version, but your repost is a definite improvement.

Liked them both very much but also prefer the second. A lovely composition. :toast:

the pose of the bird and overall composition make this a winner for me, don't find the perceived washed out colours to be a problem, but the second shot does improve

excellent

cheers
