Tuftie
Taken a couple of weeks. Nothing new will be appearing until at least after Christmas. Laptop is gradually being repaired by Dell, and on family computer all Adobe photo programmes are stuffed! Very annoying, but hopefully will get it sorted soon as I am running out of card space! :biggrin:

Anyway, this was taken at the end of the day on one of the pools at the LWC. I liked the colours of the water.

Techs:
Nikon D300s
Nikon 200-400
Handheld resting on boardwalk
F5.6
1/60s I think
No idea about anything else as can't get into Photoshop!

Wonderful! You did particularly well with the eye. Subtle plumage colours too.

OOOh! I think this is VERY nice, Oscar. Lovely soft (in the right sense) plumage detail on the bird and super composition.You're beginning to get the best out of the 200-400.

Nice shot Oscar. :wavey: I agree with Bob, get in Santa's best books. A MacBook is what you need this Christmas! :biggrin:

I'd say an iMac rather than a MacBook, but same general sentiment. As for the photo, gorgeous. Your best to date.

Superb Oscar. The detail on the bird is perfect and the autumnal glow in the water is fantastic. Top drawer image.
