First post Woodpigeon
Photographing tufted duck at a local lake, Cosmeston lakes near Cardiff when this woodpidgeon dropped in for a drink. Like many others I have enjoyed this forum for a long while before posting, so I guess its time to dip my toes.
50d
500mm set at f4
tv 1/8000
iso 640
monopod
One small white highlight removed from left of bird and neat image noise reduction applied.70% of full frame.

Welcome to the forum I am sure you will enjoy it.
Nice light on this bird. A little more space on the left would make it "sit" in the frame better maybe.
Cheers

Hi Roy,

welcome to the forum :wavey:

A good first post the light is really on the bird and sharp where it needs to be :smile:


I agree with John a bit more space on the left for it to look into.

Welcome to the forum Roy and a very good first post.

The eye is very strong and sharp and I agree with the composition comments already offered.

Looking forward to more.
