Bluethroat in last sunlight
Just back home from an amazing week which I've spend with Mark, Danny and seven other great people from the UK. So much to do in spring time and we did. This bluethroat was giving us a great performance and I just love this chap. Hope you like it.

iso 200 1/80 sec. f/5.6 Nikon 200-400/4 with 1.4TC

Hello Edwin,

Cracking bird and really like the perch! Personally I think it could stand a little more sharpening.

Cheers,

Lewis.

Thanks guys!!!

@Lewis, you are right. I saved it without any sharpening. Stupid me. Must be the lack of sleep.

Sharpening aside, a very pleasing image Edwin. Great background too!

A lovely image Edwin, though it appears a tad soft to me.
