Hi all,

Here is one from a couple of weeks ago that I never got round to processing at the time. As most will know these chaps go daft every so often and make an impressive call or statement.


Canon Mk4, 500mm plus 1.4x, f5.6, 1/2000. ISO800. - I must have been set up for something else !


Cheers

Austin

Nice one Austin.Reminds me of a flamenco dancer,with the upright head and body with the swirling skirt around it.Minor nit regarding the 3 or 4 stray grasses at the front,across the wing/skirt :smile:

Quite a nice shot of a peasant. The head and eye detail is really nice.

Thats a belter Austin. Good mix of pin sharp where it counts and movement blur where it's needed on the wings.
