1D Mk iv, 600mm f4 x1.4, 1/500s, f8, iso 200

I've waited a couple of years for one of these to come reasonably close, and a pair did so today - still could have done with coming even closer though.

Ps - apologies for having deleted this quickly after posting, but the colours were way off. Took me a while to realise that a box was ticked incorrectly - embed working profile.

pps - they're still way off :mad:

Last one looks good to me!

The repost looks a touch warmer to me Ian but neither look out of kilter. But then I don't know what your original view of them was so I have nothing to compare. Anyway it's a nice typical 'Mason' shot of a very touchy subject. :toast:

Last one looks good, but until i saw the second the first looked good, the one one your screen must be a cracker :toast: :toast:

The second looks good to me. Beautiful image. The low point of view is really great. :smile:
