Fieldfare in Snow
Hi All
In the last week Aberdeen has had 12inches of snow so I managed to photograph this Bird. Taken with a canon camera F2.8 300mm Lens and a 2x conv. 1/640 sec F5.6 + 1.0 ev. All comments welcome.

Hi John
I like the folage in the top rh corner but the bird doesnt come over as sharp on my screen

Almost, but not quite, John,

Had the body been sharper i think this would have worked nicely.

The foliage definately adds to the shot {i tried masking it with my hand on the screen, and much prefer it in the frame}.

Possibly this is one of those 'if only' type shots unfortunately {the story of my life :smile: }, but worth the try.
