Good action & timing Philip, might want to re look at the noise in the BG. If reduced, it would really help the image IMHO.

Damn this is good. Love the fan tail of feather at the bottom of the bird. Colours and tones are strong throughout.

How many attempts did you make to get this one? I guess there must have been a bit of a waiting game played out here. Well done.

Certainly was alot of trial and many errors Major. :wavey:

This sort of image really shows how, in the right hands, digital technology can be used to capture great images. Paying for film to end up with a result like this would have been very prohibitive for most. I'd love to see more of us clocking up mega shutter actuations in pursuit of these fresh images.
I almost forgot . . . stunning shot Philip


Cheers,
Chris
