Hi,

It has been a while since I posted an image, Over the last few months Fran and myself have moved, I have been fighting to keep my job (now safe and in writing), so the cameras have stayed in their lowepro's. Now starting to look at different projects and seeking out locations around our new village home.

Here is an image I processed tonight from the last time the cameras were out in anger, a simple Grey Heron.....

All the best

Phil

Nice shot Phil:toast: - it would be even better if the Heron's head was a tiny bit further towards us.

Hi Phil

Nice vignette effect that concentrates the viewer's attention and gives a favourable monochrome feel - the reflection lifts this image too.

Cheers,
Chris
