Excellent detail and lighting. What do you think of the 1D4 so far? :toast:

Hello Phillip.

Where seeing some excellent Buzzard shots at the moment and this is well up there with the others.

Excellent detail and action captured and the exposser is spot on.

The only thing I could comment on is I would like just a little more room at the bottom as I feel the Buzzard on the ground would look stronger in the image.
