I make reference to snow fields as the combintaion of sun and snow has helped to illuminate the underwing plumage. Car window image. Aberdeenshire. EOS 1D4, 500mm, ISO 400, 1/2000th at F6.3. Plus 1 stop. Cropped from a landscape.

Hi Phil, great capture. Do you think the quality of the EOS 1D4 is any better than the EOS 1D MK 2n.

Very, very nice indeed. The snow covered ground really has worked superbly in bringing out maximum detail in the plumage.
Excellent flight shot.
